摘要： A method for analyzing impact on binaries, software, and hardware of a planned software upgrade for a computer system. The method includes performing a configuration inventory for the computer system with profiles for the computer system of hardware, software including operating system software, middleware, applications, development tools, and third party software, application interfaces, and binaries. A set of upgrade rules, e.g., rules defining hardware and software requirements including interfaces, libraries, dependencies, and more, are accessed and the binary profiles are analyzed based on the upgrade rules to determine safe binaries and at-risk binaries. The at-risk binaries are further divided into subcategories based on risks of incompatibility with the planned software upgrade. The subcategories include failure, high risk, and low risk. The method includes generating text or graphical reports providing the analysis results to quantify and qualify the impacts on binaries and other portions of the computer system.

摘要： A system and method for assessing binary compatibility between software modules permits software end users to register with a system, download software tools for testing binary compatibility between one or more ABIs and binary files resident on the end users' computer system(s). The testing generates a file including the results of the binary compatibility test for each binary file tested. A unique identifier of each binary file, e.g., the MD5 signature of the binary code, may be uploaded with the results of the compatibility test. The results of the compatibility test and the unique identifier may be further analyzed to determine a risk profile that the binary file(s) on the end user's computer system(s) is not binary compatible with a particular ABI. A report may be generated indicating the binary compatibility risk profile of the files resident on the user's computer system.
