Abstract
A computer-based method of analyzing a business-critical application computer system includes extracting a plurality of software objects from the business-critical application computer system, storing the extracted software objects in a computer-based search platform, finding relationships between the extracted software objects that are stored in the computer-based search platform, and creating a database that represents the extracted software objects and the relationships between the extracted software objects. Each software object (a unique piece of code, a file, a data string, or other aspect of the business-critical application computer system) may represent an element of the business-critical application computer system whose graphical representation as a node connected to another node based on relationships, functional or otherwise, between the corresponding elements is desirable in view of a particular goal of the analysis.
