System and method for anti-pattern detection for computing applications

A system and method for anti-pattern detection for computing application prior to deployment in cloud environment is provided. The present invention provides for applying a pre-defined set of rules on one or more applications source code. The pre-defined set of rules are applied in pre-defined order. Further, applying one or more anti-pattern detection models on one or more applications source code. The anti-pattern detection models are applied for determining correlation between one or more syntax patterns of the application source code and the anti-patterns detection models. Further, detecting anti-patterns associated with the syntax patterns of the application source code based on the pre-defined set of rules and the anti-patterns detection models. The detected anti-patterns represent unique anti-patterns. Lastly, generating a migration actionable event for the application source code based on the detected anti-patterns.
