Abstract
An example method of detecting incompatibility between an application and an application dependency includes identifying a first set of contracts exposed in a first version of an application dependency. Each contract includes a symbol and a corresponding signature. The example method also includes comparing the first set of contracts to a corresponding second set of contracts exposed in a second version of the application dependency. The example method further includes determining, based on the comparing, whether the first set of contracts matches the second set of contracts. If the first set of contracts matches the second set of contracts, an indication that the second set of contracts is compatible with the application is provided. If the first set of contracts does not match the second set of contracts, an indication that the second set of contracts is not compatible with the application is provided.
