Original Abstract Submitted

a computing system encodes a next graph based on modified source code files recorded by the next code commit event. the computing system inputs the next graph to a graph machine learning model, the graph machine learning model being trained by graphs representing modified source code files and software test results corresponding to multiple code commit events occurring prior to the next code commit event in the sequence of code commit events. the computing system determines an order of test cases of the next code commit event using the graph machine learning model in an inference mode. the computing system executes the test cases according to the order during the software development build process corresponding to the next code commit event.
