Abstract
Enhanced software architecture diagrams are derived by correlating runtime and static information, thereby allowing the diagrams to span runtime determination boundaries. Runtime determination boundaries are defined by decisions made at runtime, e.g., client-server boundaries, machine-machine boundaries, database-querying program boundaries, web service provider-consumer boundaries, factory caller-instance boundaries, interface call-implementing class boundaries, and reflection boundaries. Correlation may involve identifying instances of types, tracing an identifier injected into a communication channel, using a causality hook, and/or comparing messages leaving a caller with messages entering a callee, for example.
