Abstract

Technologies are described herein for use in identifying and resolving software issues. One or more corrective actions may be identified and taken that are based upon the similarity between an unresolved issue and one or more resolved issues and/or upon the similarity between code changes made to resolve similar previously resolved issues. A version control graph might also be utilized to determine if a change made to resolve an issue in one branch of a software component is applicable to another branch of the software component. The version control graph might also be utilized to compute the relevance of an entry in an issue tracking system for an issue at a point in time after the entry is created in the issue tracking system.
