A new version of the current version of the external component is identified (supply chain components). For example, the new version may have been just released by an open-source community. In response to identifying the new version of the current version of the of the external component, a series of actions are implemented that include: identifying changes to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in the new version of the current version of the external component; identifying new vulnerabilities in the new version of the current version of the external component; and determining a quality history associated with the new version of the current version of the external component. Based on the actions, a composite score is generated and displayed to a developer.
