Abstract
A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product maintain integrity of output of a code generator. One or more processors determine a generated output that has been generated by a specific code generation application based on an original model, where the original model is a structured model used to construct a software program. The generated output is analyzed to infer contents of an inferred version of the original model. The inferred version of the original model is compared with a current version of the original model to detect differences in source elements. Detected differences are thus used to identify redundant elements in the generated output.
