Abstract
Disclosed is a system for removing bugs present in a software code. A determination module determines a usage pattern of a software code by using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique. A comparison module compares the usage pattern with a set of pre-stored usage patterns of software applications similar to the software code. An execution module executes a set of test suites, on the software code, associated to at least one software application of the software applications, when a usage pattern of the at least one software application is matched with the usage pattern of the software code. An identification module identifies a code snippet comprising the bug. A recommendation module recommends a code patch, corresponding to the code snippet, from a ranked list of code patches determined by a Deep RNN technique. Further, a replacement module replaces the code snippet with the code patch thereby removing the bug.
