  • Patent number: 9798536
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, from a first and second application by a computing device, shapes of artifacts and components of the first and second application. The shapes of the artifacts and components of the first and second application are conformed to a standard format. One or more changes to the shapes of the artifacts and components of the first and second application are tracked. One or more suspicious relationships across the first and second application are displayed based upon, at least in part, the one or more changes to the shapes of the artifacts and components of the first and second application.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 30, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2017
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Patent number: 9569337
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for generating, at a computing device, a first suspect profile of a plurality of suspect profiles that includes one or more characteristics, wherein the first suspect profile is associated with a traceability link between at least two artifacts. A change to a first characteristic associated with a first artifact of the at least two artifacts is determined. Which of the plurality of suspect profiles includes the first characteristic is determined. The first characteristic is matched to the first suspect profile of the plurality of suspect profiles based upon, at least in part, determining that the first suspect profile includes the first characteristic. The traceability link is marked as suspect based upon, at least in part, matching the first characteristic to the first suspect profile.
