AUTOMATIC NAVIGATION BETWEEN REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE AND CODE REPOSITORY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17930871 titled 'AUTOMATIC NAVIGATION BETWEEN REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE AND CODE REPOSITORY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a system where information related to a portion of code in an application is obtained from a code repository. This portion of code is aligned with a component of a reference architecture, and based on this correlation, automatic navigation to a specified location is performed.

  • Information obtained from an action performed on a portion of code in an application stored in a code repository.
  • Dynamic alignment of the code with a component of a reference architecture.
  • Correlation between the code in the repository and the reference architecture.
  • Automatic navigation to a specified location based on the obtained information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in software development tools to assist developers in understanding the relationship between code components and reference architectures.

Problems Solved

1. Streamlining the process of navigating through code repositories and reference architectures. 2. Enhancing the efficiency of developers in understanding complex software structures.

Benefits

1. Improved organization and alignment of code with reference architectures. 2. Time-saving through automated navigation to relevant code locations. 3. Enhanced developer productivity and understanding of software systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Information based on an action performed relating to a portion of code of an application stored using a code repository is obtained. The portion of code is dynamically aligned with at least one component of a reference architecture relating to the application. A correlation exists between the portion of code of the code repository and the reference architecture. Based on the information, navigating is automatically performed to a specified location. The specified location is a selected area in the code repository or a selected area in the reference architecture.
