Abstract

According to an example, source code flow analysis may include receiving source code for an application, and identifying virtual flow documents for the application from the source code. The virtual flow documents may represent ordered sequences of method calls for the application. The source code flow analysis may further include extracting features of the virtual flow documents, determining similarity between the virtual flow documents by estimating similarities for the extracted features to determine a flow-to-flow similarity, and clustering the virtual flow documents based on the flow-to-flow similarity. The flow-to-flow similarity may be further used, for example, to generate highest priority virtual flow documents and methods for the source code. The source code flow analysis may also include determination of flow-to-maintenance activity description (MAD) similarity, for example, to identify relevant virtual flow documents from the virtual flow documents based on the flow-to-MAD similarity to generate ordered relevant virtual flow documents.
