Call graph enhancement using stitching algorithm

Abstract:

A code base is parsed to identify methods encapsulated therein. Thereafter, a call graph is generated based on the parsing using a graph generation technique. The call graph is a directed call graph comprising a plurality of nodes characterizing the identified methods. It can then be determined, based on one or more design patterns used to generate the code base, that at least a portion of the nodes generated call graph are disconnected nodes. At least two of the disconnected nodes are then connected using a stitching algorithm to result in a modified call graph. Data characterizing the modified call graph can then be provided (e.g., displayed in a graphical user interface, stored in a database, loaded into memory, transmitted to a remote computing device, etc.).
