A method, system, and computer program product for error detection and correction of query expressions are provided. The method extracts a first set of queries from a set of programs prior to query editing. A first word set is generated from the first set of queries. A second set of queries are extracted from the set of programs after query editing. A second word set is generated from the second set of queries. The method determines a set of differences for word pairs within the first word set and the second word set. A third word set is generated from one or more edited queries based on the set of differences. The method generates an error report for the third word set based on the third word set and the set of differences.

Query expression error detection and correction

A computer-implemented method for detecting code regions related to specific processes in an application is provided including obtaining a call-graph of an application, each node of the call-graph representing a program in the application and each edge of the call-graph representing a call between programs, detecting merge points in the call-graph where paths from different entry points are merged, dividing the call-graph into sub-call-graphs at the merge points to create a macro-call-graph, each node of the macro-call-graph representing each of the sub-call-graphs, detecting code regions related to specific processes in each program in the application based on variable names corresponding to the specific processes, setting an initial state to each entry point of the sub-call-graphs, and identifying sub-call-graphs related to each specific process by using dataflow analysis with the initial states and the code regions based on entry states of the sub-call-graphs.

Detecting business code areas in a mainframe application

Systems and methods for quality analysis of a source code are disclosed. The method includes obtaining plural comments included in the source code. Each of the plural comments includes at least one of plural predetermined words. Also the method extracts plural candidate comments which are comments obtained by excluding plural specific comments from the obtained plural comments. Each of the plural specific comments can be identified using a similarity between a source code fragment relating to any of the obtained plural comments and an adjacent source code fragment adjacent to the source code fragment. In addition, the method outputs an evaluation about incompletion of the source code. The evaluation is determined using the plural candidate comments.

Quality analysis of source code

A computer-implemented method is provided for detecting characteristics of usages of problem expressions for each of multiple authors. The method includes providing, by a hardware processor, a set of regular expression patterns configured to detect the problem expressions. The method further includes detecting, by the hardware processor based on the set of regular expressions, respective sets of the problem expressions which are (i) used in each of multiple analysis units, (ii) associated with a respective one of each of the multiple authors, and (iii) associated with a respective one of each of multiple artifact types. The method also includes finding, by the hardware processor using automatic feature selection, a set of important expressions in the respective sets of problem expressions. The method additionally includes detecting, by the hardware processor, a typical tendency of the usages of the problem expressions for each of the multiple authors, based on the important expressions.

Individual deviation analysis by warning pattern detection

Methods, computer systems, and computer program products are provided for generating one or more condition sets from one or more documents. The method includes recognizing one or more paragraphs in each document having one or more listing and nested paragraphs and generating one or more paragraph trees wherein each node in the paragraph tree corresponds to a paragraph text in the document. The method further includes extracting one or more conditions as a logical formula from each paragraph text comprising a condition expression; and obtaining one or more condition sets written by a set of logical formulas from the one or more extracted conditions, according to a set of child nodes belonging to each common parent node in each of the paragraph trees; generating one condition set used for quality inspection, for each of the one or more condition sets written by the set of logical formulas.

Document quality inspection

The present invention may include an embodiment identifies the plurality of source code. The embodiment may extract one or more characteristics from a plurality of lines of the plurality of source code. The embodiment may analyze the one or more extracted characteristics for an inclusion relation and a congruent relation. The embodiment may generate a plurality of node relations of a plurality of nodes based on the inclusion relation and the congruent relation, where each node within the plurality of nodes corresponds to each line of the plurality of source code. The embodiment may determine a sum of the one or more nodes from the plurality of nodes that have no inclusion relation based on the analyzed inclusion relation and the analyzed congruent relation and the embodiment may display the sum of the determined one or more nodes.

Estimating the number of coding styles by analyzing source code

A source code inspection method and system. The method includes receiving by a computing system, source code files associated with a specified project. The computing system retrieves metrics data comprising software metrics associated with the source code files. The computing system generates first evaluation scores associated with the source code files. The computing system generates and presents to a user, a graph displaying the first evaluation scores. The computing system calculates parameter values associated with an evaluation function used to calculate second evaluation scores associated with the source code files. The computing system calculates the second evaluation scores by enabling the evaluation function using the parameter values. The computing system generates and presents to the user, a second graph displaying the second evaluation scores.
