Patent ID: 8626543

Claim:
A computer-implemented method to trace an execution of a business process, comprising: receiving from a computer generated user interface, an input to one or more business objects corresponding to one or more business rules associated with the business process; based upon detecting a trigger to execute the business process, a processor of the computer performing a step of processing the one or more business rules and the corresponding one or more business objects associated with the business process, to compute a process-resultant for the business process; the processor tracing a process-path of the computed process-resultant by tracing one or more key-strings corresponding to the business objects to generate a trace-resultant; the processor parsing the trace-resultant by determining one or more versioned business objects and business information of the key-strings, and deriving a business definition for the one or more versioned business objects; and based upon the derived business definition, the processor generating a comprehensive trace-map, comprising a compilation of the process-resultant of the executed business process, the comprehensive trace-map including a resultant of an evaluation of the process-resultant and a demonstration of the trace-resultant.
