1. A method comprising: obtaining configuration parameter name-value pairs for each of a plurality of component instances, wherein the plurality of configuration parameters are obtained from a deployed software solution; identifying a candidate set of configuration dependencies between different ones of the plurality of component instances in the deployed software solution, based on the configuration parameter name-value pairs obtained, wherein the candidate set of configuration dependencies comprise true dependencies and false dependencies; and rank-ordering the candidate set of configuration dependencies to obtain a rank-ordered list, wherein the true dependencies get a higher rank than the false dependencies in the rank-ordered list.
