Abstract
A method analyzes applications for modernization. Processor units analyze each application in the applications in isolation from other applications to identify issues in code for the applications and a number of common code components. The processor units create a directed graph structure using the issues identified in the applications and the number of common code components. The directed graph structure includes relationships between the applications, the number of common code components, and the issues identified. The processor units determine a common code component modernization cost for the number of common code components using the directed graph structure. The processor units determine an application modernization cost for a set of the applications using the directed graph structure. The application modernization cost for the set of the applications takes into account the common code component cost for modernizing the number of common code components a single time.
