Abstract: A system for facilitating analysis of a software product is provided. The system includes processing circuitry that collects data logs from various technologies associated with at least one stage of a software development life cycle (SDLC) of the software product. The processing circuitry identifies entities associated with each collected data log, and standardizes the collected data logs such that each collected data log is standardized based on standard data formats associated with the identified entities. Each entity corresponds to at least one stage of the SDLC of the software product. Further, the processing circuitry updates data models associated with the entities based on the standardized data logs and generates a unified data model that is indicative of a correlation between the entities. Based on the correlation indicated by the unified data model, the processing circuitry executes an automated action.
