Indexing content and source code of a software application

A computer program product for generating a searchable index from an analysis of a software application, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to receive a first software application;
• program instructions to determine that a first source code of the first software application is inaccessible;
• program instructions to, responsive to determining that the first source code of the first software application is inaccessible, stimulate the first software application to perform one or more functionalities of the first software application, wherein the one or more functionalities correspond to the first source code;
• program instructions to take a snapshot of artifacts generated by the first source code of the first software application as a result of the stimulation, wherein the artifacts comprise textual data and one or more images;
• program instructions to analyze the textual data resulting from the stimulation of the first software application, wherein analyzing the textual data resulting from the stimulation of the first software application comprises separating the textual data resulting from the stimulation of the first software application into at least one smaller segment and generating a summary from the at least one smaller segment;
• program instructions to semantically classify the one or more images resulting from the stimulation of the first software application;
• and
• program instructions to index the analyzed textual data and the semantically classified one or more images resulting from the stimulation of the first software application.
