SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CAPTURING SOURCE CODE AND ASSOCIATED ARTIFACTS FOR STATIC ANALYSIS

This disclosure describes a system and method of automatically capturing source code and associated artifacts for static analysis. A method includes receiving a current state of a project that includes a set of files in a directory to be captured for analysis and a current capture status of individual files of the set of files, determining a plan including a sequence of actions in response to the current state of the project, and executing the sequence of actions to capture each of the set of files. The sequence of actions includes capturing buildable modules in the set of files with a build-capture based on a default build command and a buildless-capture based on module definition files.
