Abstract
Automated systems and methods for assessing the urgency of installing a patch for a component of a software application are described. The systems and methods involve identifying a set of defective programming constructs of the component that are altered by the patch, collecting execution traces of programming constructs of the software application and programming constructs of the component in a context of application use, and evaluating the execution traces to determine whether one or more defective programming constructs of the component are invoked in the context of application use.
