Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions; and
a processing device communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium,
wherein, the processing device is configured to execute the instructions and thereby perform operations comprising:
injecting test data into a computing system, wherein:
the test data represents target data;
the computing system comprises a plurality of data assets; and
injecting the test data into the computing system causes a propagation of the test data through the plurality of data assets for the computing system;

scanning the plurality of data assets to identify a subset of data assets found in the plurality of data assets, wherein the test data is found in each data asset in the subset of data assets;
identifying a plurality of data elements associated with the subset of data assets that are used for the target data based on the plurality of data elements containing the target data;
identifying, based on the propagation of the test data through the plurality of data assets for the computing system, a data flow for the target data between the subset of data assets;
generating at least one association between at least one of the subset of data assets, the plurality of data elements, or the data flow for the target data; and
causing, based on the at least one association, performance of an action involving the target data.
