Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating normalized analysis artifacts for a source code base. One of the methods includes receiving a request to perform an analysis of a collection of source code files in a particular file system, wherein each source code file in the particular file system has a respective associated original file path. One or more normalized analysis artifacts are generated for the collection of source code files, including applying a file path transformation function to the original file path of each source code file referenced by the analysis artifacts to generate a normalized file path for the source code file, wherein each reference in the normalized analysis artifacts to a particular source code file uses the normalized file path for the particular source code file instead of the original file path for the particular source code file.
