METHOD FOR THE COMPUTER-AIDED DETERMINATION OF THE DEPENDENCIES OF A PLURALITY OF MODULES OF A TECHNICAL SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY OF A SOFTWARE SYSTEM

摘要

An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for the computer-aided determination of the dependencies of a plurality of modules of a technical system, especially of a software system. Every module of the system has a known, first consumption of resources. The first consumption of resources of at least one of the modules is modified according to a predetermined criterion, thereby obtaining a modified system. The modified system is executed. A second consumption of resources is measured for every module of the modified system, the consumption resulting from the modification of the first consumption of resources of the at least one module. An analysis of the second consumption of resources of a respective module and the predetermined criterion is used to determine whether there is a dependency between the respective module and the at least one module that is characterized by the modified consumption of resources.
