ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method for automatically identifying a program error in a computer program includes receiving a program error message indicating that a new program error has occurred during execution of the program and generating a program stack trace for the new program error indicating the source of the new program error within the program. A first operation is applied to a portion of the program stack trace to generate a first numerical code associated with the new program error. The first numerical code associated with the new program error is compared to one or more stored first numerical codes associated with previously identified program errors to determine whether the new program error is the same as a previously identified program error. If so, stored information associated with resolving the previously identified program error is provided for use in resolving the new program error.
