Abstract

Implementations are described herein for automatically identifying, recommending, and/or effecting changes to a legacy source code base by leveraging knowledge gained from prior updates made to other similar legacy code bases. In some implementations, data associated with a first version source code snippet may be applied as input across a machine learning model to generate a new source code embedding in a latent space. Reference embedding(s) may be identified in the latent space based on their distance(s) from the new source code embedding in the latent space. The reference embedding(s) may be associated with individual changes made during the prior code base update(s). Based on the identified one or more reference embeddings, change(s) to be made to the first version source code snippet to create a second version source code snippet may be identified, recommended, and/or effected.

Description

Background technique [0001] Software systems are built on source code "bases" that typically rely on and / or combine many independent software technologies, such as programming languages ​​(eg, Java, Python, C++), frameworks, shared libraries, runtime environments, and the like. Each software technology may evolve at its own pace and may include its own forks and / or versions. Each software technology may also depend on various other technologies. Therefore, the source code base of a large software system can be represented by a complex dependency graph. [0002] There are benefits to keeping software technology up to date. Newer releases may contain critical improvements that fix security holes and / or bugs, as well as include new features. Unfortunately, sometimes the amount of resources required to keep these software technologies up-to-date can be overwhelming, especially as part of a particular software system's code base. As a result, many software systems are not updat...
