1. A method comprising: receiving, by a processing device, a first process pattern descriptive of a first portion of a software code development process, receiving, by the processing device, a second process pattern descriptive of another portion of the software code development process, determining, by the processing device, a first number of the first plurality of states that match a corresponding number of the second plurality of states; determining, by the processing device, a second number of the first plurality of states that do not match any of the second plurality of states; determining, by the processing device, a third number of the second plurality of states that do not match any of the first plurality of states; merging, by the processing device, the first process pattern and the second process pattern to provide a merged processing pattern, the merging including: converting, by the processing device, the merged processing pattern into a verification rule; and using, by the processing device, the verification rule to process event information associated with a system.
