Abstract

An aspect of generating a product model includes extracting from source code of an application system at least one transaction definition associated with the source code. Each transaction definition describes a transaction in a product implemented by the source code. An aspect also includes dividing the transaction definition into one or more product categories, and obtaining a product component associated with one of the product categories from the source code so as to generate the product model. The product component includes at least one product parameter associated with the product category, and the product model includes an association relationship between the product category and the at least one product parameter.
