Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
executing, by computing hardware, a processing activity to inject test data into a computing system, wherein:
the test data represents target data;
the computing system comprises a plurality of data assets; and
executing the processing activity to inject 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, by the computing hardware, 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, by the computing hardware, 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, by the computing hardware and 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, by the computing hardware, at least one association between at least one of the processing activity, the subset of data assets, the plurality of data elements, or the data flow for the target data; and
causing, by the computing hardware and based on the at least one association, performance of an action involving the target data.
