US Patent 11977872 Method and system for code maintenance

A method for updating code in a shared codebase is provided. The method includes: using artificial intelligence techniques to generate a network graph that indicates a set of dependencies between a plurality of code modules included in the shared codebase; receiving information that relates to updating a first code module from among the plurality of code modules; and determining, based on the network graph, a subset of the plurality of code modules to be impacted when the first code module is updated. The method may further include scanning release notes associated with the shared codebase, and using natural language processing techniques to determine functions that will be impacted by the update.
