A computer system for identifying execution paths of analytic elements comprises computer-executable instructions that configure the computer system to identify an orphan analytic element and a second analytic element associated with a network-connected software application. The system can also be configured to identify, with a computer processor, one or more common attributes associated with the orphan analytic element and the second analytic element. Based upon the one or more common attributes, the computer system can identify an execution path for the orphan analytic element. Additionally, the system can be configured to execute, at the one or more computer processors, the network-connected software application, capture network communications generated by the network-connected software application, and generate observed execution paths based on the captured network communications. The system can additionally generate a report indicating the frequency of analytic element execution paths associated with the network-connected software application.
