Abstract

Claims (62)

1. A computer-implemented method of identifying and monitoring relevant enterprise data stored in one or more software development repositories, the method comprising:

selecting, by a computer processor, one or more terms in a query configured to query one or more software repositories related to a software development context;

querying, by the computer processor, the one or more of the software repositories for instances of the one or more query terms;

identifying, by the computer processor, one or more domain names included in the one or more software repositories related to the software development context and based on the query;

calculating, by the computer processor, one or more relevancy scores corresponding to each of the one or more software repositories, each relevancy score having a value based on a quantity of identified terms instances and domain names in each of the one or more software repositories identified from the querying;

generating, by the computer processor, an optimized query result set by ranking the one or more domain names based on the one or more relevancy scores; and

transmitting, by the computer processor, the optimized query result set to a user interface, wherein the optimized query result enables faster access to software artifacts related to the software development context.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising

responsive to identifying one or more domain names included in the one or more software repositories based on the query, querying the one or more software repositories for the domain names, subdomain names and email address strings contained in the one or more software repositories.

3. The method of claim 1 , comprising subtracting an amount from the value of one or more relevancy scores when one or more terms included in a block list are identified in the one or more software repositories corresponding to the one or more relevancy scores.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising subtracting an amount from the value of one or more relevancy scores when a threshold number of identified domain names is exceeded from querying a single data repository.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising

determining the one or more relevancy scores are above a predefined relevancy score threshold; and

adding the one or more software repositories which are associated with relevancy scores above the predefined relevancy score to a list of monitored software repositories.

6. The method of claim 5 , comprising

adding one or more domain names and subdomain names identified from the one or more software repositories to the one or more terms to query during a next query operation; and

monitoring the one or more software repositories associated with the added one or more domain names and subdomain names during the next query operation.

7. The method of claim 5 , comprising

adding one or more software repositories having relevancy scores below the predefined relevancy score to a list of unmonitored software repositories; and

monitoring the one or more added software repositories during a next query operation and disregarding software repositories in the list of unmonitored software repositories.

8. An apparatus for identifying and monitoring relevant enterprise data stored in one or more software development repositories, the apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

select one or more terms in a query configured to query one or more software repositories related to a software development context;

query the one or more of the software repositories for instances of the one or more query terms;

identify one or more domain names included in the one or more software repositories related to the software development context and based on the query;

calculate one or more relevancy scores corresponding to each of the one or more software repositories, each relevancy score having a value based on a quantity of identified terms instances and domain names in each of the one or more software repositories identified from the querying;

generate an optimized query result set by ranking the one or more domain names based on the one or more relevancy scores; and

transmit the optimized query result set to a user interface, wherein the optimized query result enables faster access to software artifacts related to the software development context.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

responsive to identification of one or more domain names included in the one or more software repositories based on the query, query the one or more identified software repositories for the domain names, subdomain names and email address strings contained in the one or more software repositories.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

subtract an amount from the value of one or more relevancy scores when one or more terms included in a block list are identified in the one or more software repositories corresponding to the one or more relevancy scores.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

subtract an amount from the value of one or more relevancy scores when a threshold number of identified domain names is exceeded from querying a single data repository.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine the one or more relevancy scores are above a predefined relevancy score threshold; and

add the one or more software repositories which are associated with relevancy scores above the predefined relevancy score to a list of monitored software repositories.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

add one or more domain names and subdomain names identified from the one or more software repositories to the one or more terms to query during a next query operation; and

monitor the one or more software repositories associated with the added one or more domain names and subdomain names during the next query cycle.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

add the one or more software repositories having relevancy scores below the predefined relevancy score to a list of unmonitored software repositories; and

monitor the one or more added software repositories during a next query operation and disregarding software repositories in the list of unmonitored software repositories.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to identify and monitor relevant enterprise data stored in one or more software development repositories, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium being configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

selecting one or more terms in a query configured to query one or more software repositories related to a software development context;

querying the one or more of the software repositories for instances of the one or more query terms;

identifying one or more domain names included in the one or more software repositories related to the software development context and based on the query;

calculating one or more relevancy scores corresponding to each of the one or more software repositories, each relevancy score having a value based on a quantity of identified terms instances and domain names in each of the one or more software repositories identified from the querying;

generating an optimized query result set by ranking the one or more domain names based on the one or more relevancy scores; and

transmitting the optimized query result set to a user interface, wherein the optimized query result enables faster access to software artifacts related to the software development context.
