Abstract
Some embodiments automatically detect a software development code improvement stage. Improvement stage detection may be based on computational events involving a development tool, such as a testing tool, a debugger, or a performance profiler. Program analysis tools driven by artificial intelligence functionality may then be automatically invoked to provide code improvement options, which may be presented to a developer in a tool user interface. Options may include source code edits, configuration changes, or test coverage changes, for example. Analysis results and corresponding code improvement options are thus presented when the developer is prioritizing program performance, program behavior accuracy, program security, or programming style, as opposed to prioritizing code creation or code integration. Programs under development, as well as quality reviews of such programs, may accordingly be optimized by performing performance and security analysis, testing, and coding style analysis during the code improvement stage.
