Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an artifact is received, and unstructured content of the artifact is parsed and analyzed to identify data for one or more of missing structured content of the artifact and inaccurate structured content of the artifact. The identified data is then added to the artifact. Embodiments of the present invention can be used, for example, to provide data for missing and inaccurate structured content in artifacts of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) frameworks, and improve accuracy of structured information that used to run queries and create reports.
Claims7
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computer processors, an artifact;
- parsing, by one or more computer processors, unstructured content of the artifact;
- analyzing, by one or more computer processors, the parsed content to identify one or more candidate traceability links and attributes for the artifact that comport with allowed types of traceability links and attributes for the artifact;
- determining, by one or more computer processors, a confidence level for each of the one or more candidate traceability links and attributes;
- suggesting, by one or more computer processors, to a user a modification to one or more existing traceability links and attributes of the artifact based on a first one or more candidate traceability links and attributes having a confidence level that satisfies a first threshold;
- and
- responsive to receiving a user selection, modifying the one or more existing traceability links and attributes of the artifact to include data from the first one or more candidate traceability links and attributes.
