Abstract
In a computer-implemented method for performing an upgrade analysis of a computer system, a version dependency compatibility acyclic graph defining component dependency and component version interoperability for a plurality of installed components of the computer system is accessed. Upgradable components of the installed components are determined based on the version dependency compatibility acyclic graph. An upgrade analysis request for an upgradable component of the plurality of installed components is received. Installed components of the plurality of installed components that are impacted by an upgrade of the upgradable component are determined based on the version dependency compatibility acyclic graph.
