Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to software development environments and, more particularly, to predicting runtime errors in software development environments. For example, a computer-implemented method includes: clustering similar regions of source code into clusters of code regions; identifying source code exceptions from at least one past execution of an executable image of the source code; deriving a model of features of the source code associated with the source code exceptions for the clusters of code regions; generating a matrix as output of the model that predicts a likelihood of an occurrence of at least one uncaught exception during a future execution of the executable image of the source code in a cluster of the clusters of code regions; and annotating the source code in the code region of the cluster with an indication of the likelihood of the occurrence of the at least one uncaught exception.
