Using false positives to detect incorrectly updated code segments

Abstract:

Aspects of the invention include receiving a notification that a first logical grouping of code segments of a software application is being changed. Comparing the first logical grouping to a second logical grouping of code segments from a change history of the software application, where the first logical grouping and the second logical grouping both relate to resolving a common software application issue, and where the first logical grouping and the second logical grouping include at least one common code segment. Identifying a first code segment of the first logical grouping that is different from a second code segment of the second logical grouping. Determining that given the at least one code segment is changed a probability that the second code segment has been changed is greater than an threshold value. Sending a notification based on the difference in the probabilities being greater than a threshold value.
