Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a full set of analysis artifacts after incremental analysis of a source code base. One of the methods includes receiving a first full set of analysis artifacts and an incremental set of analysis artifacts for a project. An initial keep graph that is initially equivalent to the full build graph is generated. Any source code file or analysis artifact nodes that also occur in the incremental build graph are removed from the keep graph. Analysis artifacts for source code files in the full build graph that do not occur in the keep graph are deleted from the first full set of analysis artifacts. The analysis artifacts represented by nodes in the incremental build graph are copied into the first full set of analysis artifacts to generate a second full set of analysis artifacts for the project.
