SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPUTING A CRITICALITY METRIC OF A UNIT OF SOURCE CODE

摘要

The present subject matter discloses system 102 and method for computing criticality metric of a unit of source code in software program. The system 102 comprises determining module 210, applying module 212, and computing module 214. The determining module 210 determines a logical criticality of the unit of source code, based on one or more factors associated with the unit of source code, by using a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm. Further, the applying module 212 may apply a Bayesian network model on plurality of parameters, including the logical criticality, in order to assign weight to each of the plurality of parameters, and to determine level of dependency between each parameter and at least one other parameter of the plurality of parameters. Further, the computing module 214 computes a criticality metric of the unit of source code based on the weight and the level of dependency associated to each parameter.
