Data are mapped from multiple tools to a common information model during the development life cycle of a software application. The common information model normalizes the data, enabling the data to be correlated even when development tasks are performed by separate entities using different tools. Using the common information model, security issues are identified in a later part of the software development life cycle based on data generated at an earlier phase, such as on an ongoing basis throughout the life cycle. A user can investigate the security issues and associated risk using an interactive dashboard.

Managing security of a software development life cycle

A time series is created that measures a remaining budget amount for a given time period, where the budget amount indicates a maximum number of occurrences of an event allowed for the given time period. More specifically, the given time period is divided into multiple time intervals. For each time interval, a number of occurrences of the event are calculated and detracted from the remaining budget amount to determine a remaining budget amount at the end of the time interval. These time values and associated remaining budget amounts are used to create the time series. This time series may be monitored in real-time, and actions may be taken to avoid future occurrences of the event in response to determining that the remaining budget amount falls below a threshold.
