Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for designating developers as having a particular skill. One of the methods includes obtaining a reference collection of snapshots for a code base, wherein each snapshot comprises a representation of source code of the code base at a particular time, each snapshot being associated with a particular developer of a plurality of developers of the code base. A plurality of metrics for each developer that committed at least one snapshot to the reference collection of snapshots is computed. Respective values of the plurality of metrics are partitioned into a plurality of respective partitions, and each of the plurality of developers are assigned to one of the plurality of partitions for each of the plurality of metrics. Developers in one or more top-ranked partitions are designated as developers having a particular skill.
