Abstract: The ability to comprehend the context of a given programming artifact and extracting the underlying functionality is a complex task extending beyond just syntactic and semantic analysis of code.

A method and system for automated classification of variables using unsupervised distribution agnostic clustering has been provided. The present disclosure focuses to tap the flexibility of the code and presents a domain agnostic approach using unsupervised machine learning which automatically extracts the context from source code, by classifying the underlying elements of the code. The method and system do not require any manual intervention and opens a wide range of opportunities in reverse engineering and variable level analysis space.
