System for modeling toolchains-based source repository analysis

A computer program product for modeling toolchains by a computer comprising at least one processor, one or more memories, one or more computer readable storage media, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, in an environment comprising:

• a toolchain fabric that manages a catalog of a plurality of tool brokers, each tool broker defining an object that represents a specific type of tool;
• provisions and configures tool integrations, each tool integration defining an object that represents a distinct instance of usage of a corresponding tool;
• and produces toolchains of tool integrations, each toolchain comprising a set of tool integrations and relationships between respective tool integrations, the program instructions executable by the computer to perform a method comprising:
• receiving, by a computer engine, an identification of at least one repository from a user, a set of classifiers, and a catalog of the toolchain fabric comprising known, categorized tool brokers;
• identifying, by the computer engine, indicators of technologies in the at least one repository using at least one selected classifier from the set of classifiers;
• classifying, by the computer engine, using an ontology, contents of the at least one repository according to the indicators of technologies identified;
• analyzing, by the computer engine, the catalog of the plurality of tool brokers, to identify a set of tools;
• generating, by the computer engine, a toolchain model comprising a mapping between the at least one repository and the plurality of tool brokers based upon an intersection of indicated technologies identified in the at least one repository and technologies supported by the set of tools identified, wherein a tool broker in the plurality of tool brokers supports a technology when a classification of the tool broker is equal to or more specific than a classification of a technology;
• updating, by the computer engine, the toolchain model to specify a configuration of tools in number and type for use with the set of repositories, wherein a given tool integration is governed by a tool broker in the plurality of tool brokers, and wherein a subset of the tool integrations represent an original set of repositories or clones thereof;
• and
• serializing, by the computer engine, the toolchain model into a toolchain template.
