Abstract

A system includes reception of a plurality of findings output by runtime checks executed by a plurality of computing systems, determination of whether a first one of the findings is a duplicate of an already-stored finding, storage, in a case it is determined that the first finding is not a duplicate of an already-stored finding, of the first finding in association with a finding identifier, and generation of a message including the finding identifier and information describing a problem associated with the finding.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a computing device comprising:
a memory storing processor-executable program code; and
a processor to execute the processor-executable program code in order to cause the computing device to:
receive a plurality of findings output by runtime checks executed by a plurality of computing systems;
determine that a first finding is a duplicate finding of an already-stored finding;
determine whether the first finding should be ignored by determining whether the already-stored finding has been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception;
in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been addressed by a correction or assigned to an exception, determine whether the already-stored finding was stored within a predetermined period of time with respect to a current time; and
in response to determining that the already-stored finding was not stored within the predetermined period of time, determine that the first finding should not be ignored, store the first finding in association with a finding identifier, and generate a message including the finding identifier and information describing a problem associated with the first finding.

2. A system according to claim 1 , wherein the message further comprises information describing a solution to the problem.

3. A system according to claim 1 , wherein the determining whether the already-stored finding has been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception comprises determining whether the already-stored finding has been assigned to an exception based on indications of exceptions stored in an exceptions table; and
in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been assigned to an exception, determining that the first finding should not be ignored.

4. A system according to claim 1 , wherein, in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception, the determining further comprises determining whether the already-stored finding was stored within a predetermined period of time with respect to a current time; and
in response to determining that the already-stored finding was not stored within the predetermined period of time, determining that the first finding should not be ignored.

5. A system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a second computing device comprising:
a second memory storing second processor-executable program code; and
a second processor to execute the second processor-executable program code in order to cause the second computing device to:
receive the message;
present the message;
receive a first identifier of a code change and a second identifier of a support package including the code change; and
store the first identifier and the second identifier in association with the finding identifier.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code, the program code executable by a processor of a computing system to cause the computing system to:
receive a plurality of findings output by runtime checks executed by a plurality of computing systems;
determine that a first finding is a duplicate finding of an already-stored finding;
determine whether the first finding should be ignored by determining whether the already-stored finding has been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception;
in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been addressed by a correction or assigned to an exception, determine whether the already-stored finding was stored within a predetermined period of time with respect to a current time; and
in response to determining that the already-stored finding was not stored within the predetermined period of time, determine that the first finding should not be ignored, store the first finding in association with a finding identifier, and generate a message including the finding identifier and information describing a problem associated with the first finding.

7. A medium according to claim 6 , wherein the message further comprises information describing a solution to the problem.

8. A medium according to claim 6 , wherein the determining whether the already-stored finding has been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception comprises determining whether the already-stored finding has been assigned to an exception based on indications of exceptions stored in an exceptions table; and
in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been assigned to an exception, the computer system determines that the first finding should not be ignored.

9. A medium according to claim 6 , wherein, in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception, the method further comprises determining whether the already-stored finding was stored within a predetermined period of time with respect to a current time; and
in response to determining that the already-stored finding was not stored within the predetermined period of time, determining that the first finding should not be ignored.

10. A medium according to claim 6 , wherein the program code is further executable by a processor of a computing system to cause the computing system to:
receive the message;
present the message;
receive a first identifier of a code change and a second identifier of a support package including the code change; and
store the first identifier and the second identifier in association with the finding identifier.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a plurality of findings output by runtime checks executed by a plurality of computing systems;
determining that a first finding is a duplicate finding of an already-stored finding;
determining whether the first finding should be ignored by determining whether the already-stored finding has been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception;
in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been addressed by a correction or assigned to an exception, determine whether the already-stored finding was stored within a predetermined period of time with respect to a current time; and
in response to determining that the already-stored finding was not stored within the predetermined period of time, determine that the first finding should not be ignored, store the first finding in association with a finding identifier, and generate a message including the finding identifier and information describing a problem associated with the first finding.

12. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the message further comprises information describing a solution to the problem.

13. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the determining whether the already-stored finding has been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception comprises determining whether the already-stored finding has been assigned to an exception based on indications of exceptions stored in an exceptions table; and
in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been assigned to an exception, determining that the first finding should not be ignored.

14. A method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the already-stored finding has not been at least one of addressed by a correction and assigned to an exception, determining whether the already-stored finding was stored within a predetermined period of time with respect to a current
