Abstract
Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automatic software defect correction of a computer program. Computer program log files are scanned to identify runtime errors, corresponding to software defects. The software defects are analyzed to determine an error type, and identify the source file/code that caused the error. A solution template repository is searched for a solution template corresponding to the identified error type. If a solution template is found, the source code is checked out from the identified source repository. The template is applied to the 'original' checked out source file to create a new source file with the fix, which is then uploaded back to the repository. A new software distribution is automatically built with the new source file, and the new software distribution is automatically deployed to the devices that experienced the error. Thus, defects can be automatically detected, repaired, and deployed without human intervention.
