Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- an error output receiving tool implemented in a processor and operable to;
receive a tool error output determined by one of a plurality of code inspection tools offered, respectively, by one of a plurality of code inspection services;
compare the tool error output to a listing of possible error outputs for a plurality of code inspection tools; and
determine an identification of the one of the code inspection tools, from among the plurality of code inspection tools, that generated the tool error output based on the comparison;
a selection tool implemented in the processor and operable to;
select at least one defect classification mapping profile based on the identified one of the code inspection tools; and
quantify occurrences of each of the possible tool error outputs for each of the plurality of code inspection tools; and
a mapping tool implemented in the processor and operable to;
map the tool error output to one or more output classifications using the selected at least one defect classification mapping profile; and
quantify a number of defects of the possible tool error outputs based on the one or more of the output classifications,wherein the selecting the at least one defect classification mapping profile comprises selecting one or more designated defect classification mapping profiles, which each comprise;
the listing of possible tool error outputs for a particular code inspection tool; and
for each of the possible tool error outputs, a corresponding output classification with a common classification schema.

Abstract
A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The programming instructions are operable to receive a tool error output determined by a code inspection tool and select at least one defect classification mapping profile based on the code inspection tool. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to map the tool error output to one or more output classifications using the selected at least one defect classification mapping profile and generate at least one report based on the one or more output classifications.
