Abstract

A code lineage tool includes a scanner, a parser, and an integrator. The scanner identifies a plurality of elements in software code. The parser determines that a value of a first element is affected by a second element and a third element. The parser adds the first element to a parse tree and adds the second and third elements to the parse tree as sub-nodes of the first element. The parser determines that a value of the second element is affected by a fourth element and adds the fourth element to the parse tree as a sub-node of the second element. The integrator determines that a change to the fourth element will change the value of the first element and the value of the second element and generates a lineage for the first element.
