A computer implemented method includes obtaining multiple configuration files that include configuration commit histories, detecting patterns in parameter values in the configuration files to generate file-based rules for configuration parameters, detecting patterns in parameter values in the configuration files to generate history-based rules using commit histories for the configuration parameters, and exposing the rules to calling programs.

Pattern base configuration verifier

Described herein is a system and method for detecting correlated changes (e.g., between code files and configuration files). For a plurality of code files and a plurality of configuration files, a correlated change model is trained to identify correlated changes across the code files and the configuration files using a machine learning algorithm that discovers change rules using a support parameter, and, a confidence parameter, and, a refinement algorithm that refines the discovered change rules. The correlated change model comprising the change rules is stored. The correlated change model can be used to identify potential issue(s) regarding a particular file (e.g., changed code or configuration file(s)). Information regarding the identified potential issue(s) can be provided to a user.
