9. A computer program product comprising at least one computer readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions and data which, when executed by at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to: receive a plurality of input source code files from the software program submitted by a developer; identify one or more candidate code snippets from the plurality of input source code files by comparing source code feature vectors for the plurality of input source code files to library function feature vectors for library functions stored in a system library to identify at least a first candidate code snippet which meets at least a first similarity threshold measure for a first library function stored in the system library, and removing one or more code snippets that do not meet a similarity threshold measure for library functions stored in the system library; identify at least a first validated code snippet from the one or more candidate code snippets that matches a first library function stored in the system memory on the basis of at least first and second matching metrics comprising implementing an input/output matching algorithm for selecting a candidate code snippet which generates the same output as the first library function when both are injected with a shared input; and generate a library function recommendation comprising the first validated code snippet, the first library function, and instructions for replacing the first validated code snippet with the first library function.

The computer program product of claim 9 , wherein the computer readable program, when executed on the system, causes the at least one processing device to present the library function recommendation by displaying on one or more user interface screens the first validated code snippet, the first library function, and instructions for educating the developer on how to replace the first validated code snippet with the first library function.
