Abstract
Reviewing software source code by receiving a changeset containing identified source code text changes. A computer creates a workflow of a source code module using execution paths among logical groupings of source code statements. The computer identifies logical groupings of source code statements in the workflow that contain text changes. The computer generates an integrated graphical user interface that will display a visual indication of the text changes and the logical groupings that contain the text changes, visually indicate logical groupings that contain text changes when selected by a user, visually indicate source code statements associated with a selected logical grouping in the workflow, link user comments for a source code statement and logical groupings to the associated logical groupings and source code statements, respectively, and visually indicate the linked logical groupings and linked source code statements when a source code statement is selected.
