Abstract:
1. A method comprising: retrieving, by a computing system, a transformation mapping file comprising mapping data, wherein said mapping data comprises data associating elements of a source model to elements of a target model; retrieving, by said computing system, said target model; retrieving, by said computing system, first elements of said target model; processing, by said computing system, a first element of said data associating said elements of said source model to said elements of said target model; retrieving, by said computing system, first traceability links from said first element, wherein said first traceability links link to said first element; processing, by said computing system, said first traceability links; retrieving, by said computing system, first supplier data associated with a first supplier of said first traceability links; first verifying, by said computing system, if said first supplier comprises a valid supplier; storing, by said computing system, results of said first verifying, wherein said results of said first verifying indicates if said first supplier comprises a valid supplier; regenerating, by said computing system said source model resulting in a regenerated source model; identifying, by said computing system, broken traceability links between elements of said regenerated source model and said target model; and restoring, by said computing system, said broken traceability links resulting in re-established traceability links between said regenerated source model and said target model.
