Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with the valuation of software code abstractions are described. In one embodiment, the method includes generating a directed acyclic graph (DAG) comprising a vertex node, children nodes, and a plurality of edges, wherein the vertex node includes a software code abstraction. A DAG is generated for each vertex node associated with a software code abstraction. The directed acyclic graph is analyzed to determine inheritance of the software code abstraction from the vertex node to the children nodes. A weight having a numerical value is assigned to the edges located between the vertex node and the children nodes. The numerical values are parsed to determine a cumulative sum of all of the edges associated with a particular vertex node. The cumulative sums are compared to determine an impact of the software code abstraction associated with each of the vertex nodes.
