Ruleset Version Scanning and Correction Tool
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Application developers face challenges in deploying software due to the complexity of scanning, warning, and correcting ruleset version errors, which are not efficiently addressed by existing tools.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for executing multiple ruleset version scanning, warning, and correction using a Software Deployment Management (SDM) environment like Pega®, which includes a code scanning interface, guiderail database, and compliance scoring to identify and rectify compliance issues, and assign new version numbers to corrected rulesets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual scanning and correction of ruleset version errors is performed, then developers can identify compliance issues, but the process is time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary scanning and compliance checking of rulesets before deployment. The compliance scanner automatically analyzes rulesets against predefined compliance rules and identifies version conflicts in advance, allowing developers to correct issues before they affect the deployment process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service capabilities through automated compliance scanning and version conflict detection. The compliance scanner automatically identifies issues without requiring manual intervention, and the system can suggest or automatically resolve version conflicts, reducing the burden on developers.
2Reliability
If comprehensive compliance scanning is performed on all rulesets, then compliance issues are identified, but the complexity of the scanning process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The compliance scanning process is segmented into distinct components: rule definition, compliance scanning, version conflict detection, and correction. Each component handles a specific aspect of compliance verification, making the overall system more manageable and easier to maintain while providing comprehensive coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The compliance scanner is designed as a universal tool that can scan multiple rulesets simultaneously and apply the same compliance rules across different versions. The system handles various types of compliance checks (version conflicts, syntax errors, best practices) through a unified interface, reducing the need for separate scanning tools.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple versions of rulesets are managed, then flexibility in development is improved, but version control and error identification become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback mechanisms that automatically detect version conflicts when multiple ruleset versions are present. The compliance scanner analyzes the rulesets and provides feedback about version mismatches, allowing developers to understand and resolve conflicts systematically rather than manually tracking versions.
Solution Approach 2:
The compliance scanner acts as an intermediary between multiple ruleset versions, mediating the detection and resolution of version conflicts. It compares versions, identifies discrepancies, and suggests corrections, serving as a neutral tool that facilitates version management without requiring developers to manually compare each version.

AI summary
A system executes multiple ruleset version scanning, warning and correction using a Software Deployment Management (SDM) environment such as Pega®. The system presents a code scanning interface to a user; receives input from the user selecting input rulesets comprising at least one ruleset and at least one version of the ruleset for scanning; accesses a guiderail database comprising a plurality of guiderails configured as best practices for SDM application development; scans the input rulesets comprising applying at least a portion of the plurality of guiderails to each of the input rulesets; and determining which of the input rulesets comprise compliance issues and a severity of each of the compliance issues; and presents an indication of severity of compliance issues for each of the input rulesets to the user using the code scanning interface.
