Abstract
Various embodiments of systems and methods to compare different versions of a development object based on a version comparison profile are described herein. Identities of the different versions of the development object are received. Further, a version comparison profile and a corresponding profile definition associated with the development object are received. Furthermore, the different versions of the development object are compared to determine one or more differences based upon the received version comparison profile and the corresponding profile definition. The determined one or more differences between the different versions of the development object are returned.
Claims20
An article of manufacture including a tangible computer readable storage medium to physically store instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- receive identities of different versions of a development object to be compared;
- receive a version comparison profile and a corresponding profile definition associated with the development object;
- compare the different versions of the development object to determine one or more differences based upon the received version comparison profile and the corresponding profile definition;
- and
- return the determined one or more differences between the different versions of the development object.
A computer implemented method to compare different versions of a development object using a computer, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a computer generated user interface, an identity of the different versions of the development object to be compared;
- receiving, from the computer generated user interface, a version comparison profile and a corresponding profile definition associated with the development object;
- comparing, the computer, the different versions of the development object to determine one or more differences based upon the retrieved version comparison profile and the corresponding profile definition;
- and
- displaying the determined one or more differences between the different versions of the development object.
A computer system to compare different versions of a development object, the computer system comprising a processor, the processor communicating with one or more memory devices storing instructions to:
- receive identities of the different versions of the development object to be compared;
- receive a version comparison profile and a corresponding profile definition associated with the development object;
- compare the different versions of the development object to determine one or more differences based upon the retrieved version comparison profile and the corresponding profile definition;
- and
- display the determined one or more differences between the different versions of the development object.
