Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and displaying dependencies. One aspect of the invention comprises a system having a dependency parser that parses components of a system with dependencies and generates a plurality of component dependency pairs associated with the components, and a component dependency graph generator that generates a dependency directed graph from the plurality of dependency pairs. The system further includes a component levels and cycles analyzer that traverses the dependency directed graph to identify dependencies, strong components and component dependency levels associated with the dependency directed graph, and a graphical user interface that provides a tree view illustrating a dependency tree of the identified dependencies over the identified component dependency levels.
