The current software repairs are not sufficiently validated due to time constraints, which seriously affects the timeliness and reliability of software repairs implemented. To address the problem, a change risk analysis method is presented. Firstly, the risk of software change is analyzed from the perspective of the change caused by software re-pair, and the concepts of change risk and change risk density are introduced to quantify the risk. On this basis, the concepts of associated risk and the associated risk density are obtained from the correlation matrix of software changes, which can effectively help programmers understand the distribution of risks and formulate appropriate verifi-cation strategies so as to ensure the timeliness and reliability of software repairs.
