Abstract
A method that may include: monitoring over time, actions carried out by at least one programmer over a software development environment to yield development patterns; comparing the development patterns to best practice rules to yield a comparison results indicating deviations of the development patterns from the best practice rules; and analyzing the comparison results based at least partially on a likelihood of each action deviated from the respective best practice rule to result in a software bug, to yield an analysis of potential software bug prone code sections, wherein at least one of the monitoring, the comparing, and the analyzing is executed by at least one processor.
