US Patent 10175979 Defect ownership assignment system and predictive analysis for codebases

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for predicting errors in a software code base. The system generates an element set from a plurality of defect records that identify the developer who originated the defect, the code revisions related to the defect, and a classification of the defect. The system predicts the probability and type of defects in software using a machine learning algorithm configured using elements from the defect records and the code related to the defect records.
