A computer system, method, or computer-readable medium controls a potentially unacceptable software component intended for a software repository. A pre-defined application or repository policy associated with the repository or application pre-defines risks and, for each of the risks, an action to take for the risk. The action can be a pass action or a does-not-pass action, which are pre-defined programmatic steps also defined in the policy. When the component is not new to the repository or the application, the component is passed through for the usual handling. When the component is new, risks are determined that match the software component; for risks which match, the actions are taken as defined in the pre-defined policy. The pass action can include adding the software component to the software repository. The does-not-pass action is followed for a component that does not pass as a potentially unacceptable software component.

Method and system for controlling software risks for software development

A computer system, method, or computer-readable medium corrects a broken portion of an application. A fingerprint indicates classes that comprise the application. The classes indicated in the fingerprint are looked up to determine whether any is broken. For a broken class, a fixed class is substituted when the broken class is loaded at class load time for the application; a fixed class method is substituted into the broken class, when the broken class is loaded at class load time; fixed byte code is substituted for broken byte code corresponding to the broken class, when the broken class is loaded at class load time; the broken class is unloaded and the fixed class is loaded instead, when the application is running; or the broken class is replaced inside the static application with the fixed class; all without replacing classes which are not broken.
