First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for affording consistency in a development architecture framework as components in the framework change comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a reference program code;
(b) receiving a plurality of sets of updated program code representing different versions of the program code;
(c) comparing the sets of the updated program code with the reference program code in order to identify information relating to changes;
(d) classifying the information relating to the changes; and
(e) providing change control tools for performing management of the different versions of the program code,-wherein the management includes at least one of;
authorization, coordination, capturing ideas, identifying conflicting changes, identifying when a critical change is implemented, and evaluating the impact of implementing changes; and
(f) providing development tools including productivity tools, collaborative tools, and process integration tools for creating sharing and sequencing documents.

Abstract
A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for affording consistency in a development architecture framework as components in the framework change. A reference program code is provided and a plurality of sets of updated program code are received which represent different versions of the program code. The sets of the updated program code are compared with the reference program code in order to identify information relating to changes and the information is classified in relation to the changes. Tools are also provided for managing the different versions of the program code.

9. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for affording consistency in a development architecture framework as components in the framework change comprising:
-
(a) a code segment that provides a reference program code;
(b) a code segment that receives a plurality of sets of updated program code representing different versions of the program code;
(c) a code segment that compares the sets of the updated program code with the reference program code in order to identify information relating to changes;
(d) a code segment that classifies the information relating to the changes; and
(e) a code segment that provides change control-tools for performing management-of the different versions of the program code, wherein the management includes at least one of;
a code segment that performs authorization, a code segment that performs coordination, a code segment that captures ideas, a code segment that identifies conflicting changes, a code segment that identifies when a critical change is implemented, and a code segment that evaluates the impact of implementing changes; and
(f) a code segment that provides development tools including productivity tools. collaborative tools, and process integration tools for creating sharing and sequencing documents. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
