1. A computer-implemented method for obtaining one or more expected results of a plurality of functions in a code file, the plurality of functions comprising a first function and a second function, the method comprising:
determining whether the first function and the second function matches at least one of a one or more historical functions in a log of previously executed functions and their corresponding execution responses;
responsive to determining that at least one of the first function and the second function matches at least one of the one or more historical functions in the log, resulting in one or more matching historical functions:
identifying one or more execution responses corresponding to the one or more matching historical functions in the log;
determining one or more expected results of the plurality of functions based on the identified one or more execution responses;
generating a visual representation of the one or more expected results in an interactive development environment; and
executing at least one of the first function and second function.
