Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving a static analysis rule and a corresponding dynamic analysis rule associated with a first proposed code change to a first code segment; applying the static analysis rule to a code set to identify a set of code segments of potential interest; and applying the dynamic analysis rule to code segments within the identified set of code segments of potential interest to determine an identity of a set of code segments of interest that are related to the first code segment with respect to the advisability of making the first proposed code change in a member of the group consisting of: (i) the first code segment, and (ii) at least one of the code segments of potential interest; wherein: the static analysis rule includes a code snippet for matching with code segments within the code set to identify the set of code segments of potential interest; and the dynamic analysis rule includes target change data to determine related code segments within the identified set of code segments of potential interest, the related code segments forming, at least in part, the set of code segments of interest.
