Finding Duplicates in Prior Runs of Static Analysis Tools

摘要

An approach is provided in which a duplicate complaint detection system captures current source code partitions that each corresponds to current complaints included in a current static analysis report. The duplicate complaint detection system then computes similarity scores corresponding to the new complaints based upon aligning at least one of the current source code partitions to at least one prior source code partition corresponding to a prior complaint. The duplicate complaint detection system determines that one or more of the similarity scores are below a similarity threshold, which indicates that their corresponding current complaints are new complaints. In turn, the duplicate complaint detection system highlights the new complaints included in the current static analysis report.
