A service running on a server for developing software collaboratively. The service includes accessing at least one repository of code for software applications. A code tree structure is extracted from the repository which represents a plurality of preexisting pipeline requirements to be used with a tree kernel similarity algorithm. At least one development repository of code is accessed. A code tree structure is extracted from the development repository of code which represents a new pipeline requirement to be used with a tree kernel similarity algorithm. A tree kernel similarity algorithm is used that includes a specified similarity function to create feature map between the new pipeline requirements with the preexisting pipeline requirements. One or more features of the new pipe line requirements are clustered. Different requirements are extracted to different definitions based upon the features that have been clustered. A preexisting pipeline requirement is selected for a highest similarity.
