A method and a system for maintaining immutability of evidence that relates to software development life cycle data and that is protected from tampering in order to guarantee data integrity and consistency are provided. The method includes: receiving an evidence item that relates to a software development; encrypting the evidence item; storing the encrypted evidence item in a memory; computing a hash value based on the evidence item; and combining the hash value with a hash tree that relates to the software development. The hash tree includes a set of hash values for which there is a one-to-one correspondence with a set of evidence items that are represented in the hash tree. When tampering, such as content alteration or deletion, occurs with respect to an evidence item, the hash values in the hash tree may be used to determine the evidence item for which the tampering has occurred.

The current document is directed to a subsystem that is incorporated, in one implementation, within an automated application-release-management system. The subsystem to which the current document is directed determines, based on modifications to the source code for an application or another system that are submitted through a check-in process, a subset of tests within a large set of tests developed to test the application or system that invoke routines or other compilation units affected by the submitted source-code modifications. Only those tests that invoke routines and other compilation units affected by the source-code submissions need then be applied during testing and verification of the revised application or system.
