Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: detecting that new source code linked to a defect identifier has been checked in to a source code repository for a given one of a plurality of code branches of a software application, wherein the new source code comprises new application source code and new test case source code, and wherein the defect identifier identifies a defect in the software application that the new application source code resolves and the new test case source code tests; automatically checking in the new source code to additional ones of the plurality of code branches based on the defect identifier; and for each additional code branch into which the new source code is automatically checked in: detecting that additional source code linked to an additional defect identifier has been checked into the source code repository for a particular one of the plurality of code branches, wherein the additional source code comprises application source code but does not include any test case source code; automatically checking in the additional source code to additional ones of the plurality of code branches based on the additional defect identifier; querying a software testing management platform to determine if any test case source code is available for the additional defect identifier; and if no indication is received from the software testing management platform that indicates that test case source code is available for the additional defect identifier after either a predetermined amount of time or a predetermined amount of querying, transmitting a notification that indicates a test case deficiency for the additional defect identifier.
