Method and system for template based software as a service (saas) data domain detection

A processor-implemented method for template-based software as a service (SaaS) data domain detection, the method comprising:

• capturing an information associated with a data model of a SaaS application using a model definition file (MDF), the information being related to at least one of:
• querying a data using SaaS application programming interface (API), organizing the data such that the data from one object is used as a key to query another data item and de-duplicate similar data coming from a plurality of data sources into single entity understandable by humans;
• reading the MDF using a generic connector to interact with the SaaS application for carrying out an instruction encoded in MDF after the MDF is defined;
• and
• inheriting the MDF by a tenants or a customers using the SaaS app, by copying the MDF where a scanner is running.

A processor-implemented method of creating and deploying a model definition file (MDF), the method comprising:

• 1. understanding a software as a service (SaaS) app data model, defining the MDF and testing with a generic connector by a SaaS expert;
• 2. making the MDF available to a plurality of tenants by developers and operations (devops);
• 3. customizing the MDF by each of the plurality of tenants to an account for custom objects in an implementation of a SaaS service;
• and
• repeating the steps 1) to 3) upon occurrence of a significant change in the SaaS data model in a new version.
