Abstract

A computer system includes a transceiver and a processor that is cooperatively operable with the transceiver. The processor gathers, over the transceiver, (i) issue tracking information stored in an issue tracking storage system, the issue tracking information having a history of issues filed against a plurality of artifacts, and (ii) source code management information stored in a source code management storage system, the source code management information having a history of code changes committed against another plurality of artifacts. The processor checks a combined history of the issue tracking information and the source code management information for a history of issues filed against an artifact and a history of commits and corresponding source code changes committed against the artifact. The processor provides an interpretation of the current state of the artifact based on the combined history of the issue tracking information and source code management information about the artifact.
