Group colloquium: A System for Risk Assessment of Code Merges

When: March 6, 2018, 15:00-16:00

Where: Zi 2042

Who: Jan-Jelle Kester

Merging different versions of a software program can result in broken code due to conflicting changes that are not detected by the line-based merge algorithms of many version control systems.

For my master’s thesis I designed a system for detecting changes that, when combined, have side effects.

For the detection I have come up with new, naive algorithms.

At the moment more testing is still required, and for a future in the real world some improvements have to be made.
