Non-functional concerns are addressed within an abstract model corresponding to a real-world system. One or more annotations profiles are constructed. Each annotations profile describes one or more annotations, where each annotation corresponds to and represents one of the non-functional concerns. Each of a number of modeling elements of the abstract model is associated with an annotation corresponding to a non-functional concern pertaining to the modeling element. One or more transformation templates are constructed. Each transformation template transforms the abstract model to a specific implementation platform to which the transformation template corresponds. For each transformation template, the abstract model as has been transformed to the specification implementation platform to which the transformation template corresponds is executed. Such execution results in consumption of the non-functional concerns represented by the annotations associated with the modeling elements.

A connection is established between the source code and the business requirements of a software system. User specified keyword that reflect business requirements are expanded using an ontology and a thesaurus. The augmented list of user specified keywords are matched to the automatically annotated source code. The results of the match along with call graph of the source code are used to generate workflows that provide a mapping from the source code to business logic.
