US Patent 11662982 Intelligent recommendation for creation of software architectural diagrams

An architectural diagram recommendation engine is implemented in a data processing system for software architectural diagram analysis and recommendation. The architectural diagram recommendation engine analyzes a software requirements specification document using natural language processing to identify functional requirements and security requirements. The architectural diagram recommendation engine analyzes a digital software architectural diagram image to identify functional components and identifies one or more discrepancies between the functional components of the digital software architectural diagram image and the functional requirements or security requirements. The architectural diagram recommendation engine generates an alert concerning the one or more discrepancies and presents the alert in association with the digital software architectural diagram image.
