Abstract
A computer retrieves a first changeset that is associated with a program. The computer identifies a first set of changes included in the first changeset based on a time stamp of a change, textual matching, and syntactical matching. The computer identifies a first area of interest within a source code of the program based, at least in part, on the first set of changes. The computer searches for a second set of changes based, at least in part, on the first area of interest. The computer generates a result that includes, at least in part, the first set of changes.
