A method for managing changes to one or more files via a link is associated with the changes that result in an updated version of the one or more files. A changed section determiner determines which sections associated with the one or more files have changed. The changed section operator further determines metadata regarding the nature of the changes to the sections. Based on the metadata a metrics generator generates a first weight associated with each of the changed sections. A mapping record generator generates a mapping record for each of the changed sections. A first mapping record comprises data associated with the first weight. The first mapping record is associated with a particular version of the one or more files and is linked to mapping records associated with other changed sections using the link.

Managing changes to one or more files via linked mapping records

A computer program product includes program code for managing changes to one or more files via a link is associated with the changes that result in an updated version of the one or more files. A changed section determiner determines which sections associated with the one or more files have changed. The changed section operator further determines metadata regarding the nature of the changes to the sections. Based on the metadata a metrics generator generates a first weight associated with each of the changed sections. A mapping record generator generates a mapping record for each of the changed sections. A first mapping record comprises data associated with the first weight. The first mapping record is associated with a particular version of the one or more files and is linked to mapping records associated with other changed sections using the link.

A computer collects first test metrics on a transaction hosted within a middleware container, and is executing within a first environment. The computer generates baseline values of expected execution behavior of the transaction based on the first test metrics. The computer collects second test metrics on the transaction hosted within the middleware container, and is executing within a second environment. The computer compares the second test metrics to the baseline values. The computer determines whether the second test metrics satisfy the baseline values. In response to the second test metrics not satisfying the baseline values, the computer identifies the transaction as a candidate for cancellation.
