Abstract:
1. A method to evaluate impact of a change in code of a depended upon component of a system stored in a computer readable storage device, upon a dependent component of the system, comprising: providing in a computer readable storage device a first property evaluation summary structure that associates multiple respective property evaluations with a first version of a first component of the system; providing in a computer readable storage device a second property evaluation summary structure that associates multiple respective property evaluations with a second version of the first component of the system; providing in a computer readable storage device a third property evaluation summary structure that associates multiple respective property evaluations with a first version of a second component of the system; providing in a computer readable storage device a fourth property evaluation summary structure that associates multiple respective property evaluations with a second version of the second component of the system; comparing, by a processor, respective property evaluations within the first property evaluation summary structure with corresponding property evaluations within the second property evaluation summary structure; and comparing, by a processor, respective property evaluations within the third property evaluation summary structure with corresponding property evaluations within the fourth property evaluation summary structure; wherein the first component of the system is dependent upon the second component of the system, and wherein the computer readable storage device does not consist of transitory, propagating signals.
