A transfer learning system is used for the development of neural transformer models pertaining to software engineering tasks. The transfer learning system trains source code domain neural transformer models with attention in various configurations on a large corpus of unsupervised training dataset of source code programs and/or source code-related natural language text. A web service provides the trained models for use in developing a model that may be fine-tuned on a supervised training dataset associated with a software engineering task thereby generating a tool to perform the software engineering task.

A method and system may be provided for recording discussions about computer code in an integrated development environment (IDE). In some aspects, a communication channel is integrated with an IDE. Communications and discussions may be tracked and linked with specific code sections. In some aspects, a predefined graphical interface may be used in forming the communications for the communication channel.

One or more lines of computer code are accessed. An electronic dictionary file is retrieved in response to the accessing of the computer code. The electronic dictionary file contains definitions for a plurality of commands or terms associated with the one or more lines of computer code. Based on the definitions contained in the electronic dictionary file, the one or more lines of computer code are parsed. An output is generated based on the parsing of the computer code. The output contains information explaining the one or more lines of computer code or an intended result of an execution thereof.

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining code-based policies. The method generates a policy-builder first view of a policy for display in a graphical user interface (GUI) by processing a syntax tree that is generated from a code second view of the policy. The method receives, through the policy-builder first view, a modification to a portion of the policy. To reflect the modification, the method updates a portion of the syntax tree that corresponds to the portion of the policy that is affected by the modification. Based on the updating of the syntax tree, the method updates the code second view by modifying a portion of the code second view that corresponds to the updated portion of the syntax tree.

A knowledge driven architecture for information system lifecycle development is disclosed. The architecture includes a knowledgebase repository including a knowledge engine to store a first set of knowledge models associated with an information system development; an upstream subsystem to feed a second set of knowledge models to the knowledge engine and update the knowledge engine with a final set of knowledge models; a downstream subsystem to provide one or more features corresponding to the information system development to a user. The downstream subsystem includes an engineering knowledge module to systematise one or more aspects of an information system engineering lifecycle and includes a project scaffolding manager to generate code template, an architectural knowledge module to systematise one or more features associated with architecture and design lifecycle of the information system, a planning and governance module to systematise one or more features associated with information system planning and governance life cycle.

Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method comprises storing project data in relation to a plurality of projects in a data store. In response to determining that a project update process has been triggered for a particular project, a project owner is identified and a project update request is generated and communicated to the project owner. Project updates are received, and in response to determining that a subscriber update process has been triggered for a particular subscriber, one or more projects are identified and updates in respect of those projects are generated and communicated to the particular subscriber.

Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for discovering and remediating hidden secrets in code files. Techniques include accessing an element of source code for analysis, performing a static analysis of the element of source code, and generating a control flow representation that identifies a plurality of functions and a sequence of functions associated with the element of the source code. The techniques may further include determining a probability of a hidden secret being included in the element of source code and performing a security action of at least one of: generating an alert, displaying a visual indication of the probability, generating a report associated with the hidden secret, sending data associated with the probability to a machine learning system for training the machine learning system, or a remediating action associated with the hidden secret.
