Systems and methods for extracting cross language dependencies and estimating code change impact in software

Abstract:

The technique relates to a method, device, and non-transitory computer readable medium for extracting cross language dependencies and estimating code change impact in software based on a plurality of dependency graphs, a network of the plurality of co-committed files and one or more predefined graph metrics. This technique involves extracting source code and revision history data from repository for construction of plurality of dependency graphs and a network of plurality of co-committed files in order to determine one or more cross language dependencies and code change impact in software system built using multiple programming languages, by analyzing the dependency graphs, the network of co-committed files and one or more predefined graph metrics. Finally, the output is visualized with the help of one or more graph visualization technique.
