An approach is disclosed that receives a code segment from a source code file. The received code segment is inputted to a trained knowledge manager from which one or more comparable code segments are received. Each of the comparable code segments are identified as having similar functionality as the selected code segment and each of the comparable code segments has a set of metadata. The metadata is used to select one of the comparable code segments and this selected code segment is used to replace the original code segment in the source code file.

Identify, suggest, and auto-implement best practices for requirement specific software development

Techniques for build recovery from inter-code commit failure. A build error for a software project is identified. A first software module, with one or more errors related to the build error, is selected. A comparison software module for the first software module is identified. The comparison software module includes at least one of: (i) a sibling software module to the first software module or (ii) an earlier version of the first software module. A potential problem with the first software module, related to the build error, is determined based on comparing the first software module with the comparison software module. A solution to the potential problem is generated based on the first software module. The solution includes a modification to the software code of the first software module. The solution is applied by modifying the software code of the first software module.
