One of the methods includes receiving information about at least two logical datasets, the information identifying, for each logical dataset, a field in that logical dataset and format information about that field. The method includes receiving information about a transformation identifying a first logical dataset from which the transformation is to receive data and a second logical dataset to which the transformed data is provided. The method includes receiving one or more proposed changes to at least one of the fields. The method includes analyzing the proposed changes based on information about the transformation and information about the first logical dataset and the second logical dataset. The method includes calculating metrics of the proposed change based on the analysis. The method also includes storing information about the metrics.
