INTELLIGENT CHECKING ENGINE

Apparatus and methods for an intelligent audit engine are provided. Product development artifacts may be associated with artifact tags and stored in an artifact repository. The audit engine may retrieve an artifact for audit. The audit engine may identify a set of development guidelines in a rule repository based on their artifact tags. The audit engine may determine whether the development guidelines have been satisfied based on stored product testing data. A failed development guideline may initiate a workflow that includes notification of a project stakeholder regarding the failure. The notification may include remediation measures to be taken by the stakeholder. The validation process may iterate until all guidelines have passed validation. A machine-learning algorithm may prioritize a development guideline for future audits to increase efficiency. The machine learning algorithm may educate stakeholders to reduce audit failures.
