Abstract

Claims (28)

1. A system for meta-indexing, search, compliance, and test framework for software development, comprising:

a computing device comprising at least a processor and a memory; and

an indexing service comprising a plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operable on the processor of the computing device, wherein the programmable instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:

create a dataset by processing and indexing source code of a project provided by a developer;

perform a code audit using automated analysis using a distributed computational graph comprising at least a plurality of network-addressable processors and memories operating on a plurality of network-connected computing devices, the distributed computational graph collectively maintaining a distributed computational graph and a plurality of interfaces for accessing the functionality thereof across a network, on the indexed source code;

store results from the code audit in the dataset;

gather additional information relating to a project;

store the additional information in the dataset; and

store the dataset into memory.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a monitoring service comprising a second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operable on the processor of the computing device, wherein the second plurality of programmable instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to continuously monitor the project for at least source code changes and to make changes to the dataset as needed.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a licensing service that the developer may use to manage, track, and restrict usage of the provided project.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the licensing service may be used to detect and automatically take steps to resolve inappropriate usage of the provided project.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a recommendation engine to provide usage recommendations to end-users.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the information relating to the provided project that is gathered comprises links to relevant message forums.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the information relating to the provided project that is gathered comprises vulnerability information of related libraries and dependencies.

8. A method for meta-indexing, search, compliance, and test framework for software development, comprising the steps of:

(a) creating a dataset by processing and indexing source code of a project provided by a developer with an indexing service;

(b) performing a code audit using automated analysis using a distributed computational graph comprising at least a plurality of network-addressable processors and memories operating on a plurality of network-connected computing devices, the distributed computational graph collectively maintaining a distributed computational graph and a plurality of interfaces for accessing the functionality thereof across a network, on the indexed source code with the indexing service;

(c) storing results from the code audit in the dataset with the indexing service;

(d) gathering additional information relating to the provided project with the indexing service;

(e) storing the additional information in the dataset with the indexing service; and

(f) storing the dataset into memory with the indexing service.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising the step of continuously monitoring the project for at least source code changes and make changes to the dataset as needed with a monitoring service.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising a licensing service that the developer may use to manage, track, and restrict usage of the provided project.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the licensing service may be used to detect and automatically take steps to resolve inappropriate usage of the provided project.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising a recommendation engine to provide usage recommendations to end-users.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the information relating to the provided project that is gathered comprises links to relevant message forums.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the information relating to the provided project that is gathered comprises vulnerability information of related libraries and dependencies.
