Abstract

Techniques described herein support component maintenance that accounts for a similarity between characteristics of different components. To identify components with similar characteristics, one or more techniques described herein support generation of a data structure (e.g., a tree) that represents a component, where each characteristic may be represented in a different leaf node. The system may generate a similarity score, or value (e.g., as a percentage), between multiple components based on comparing individual nodes of a tree representing each component, respectively. If the similarity score satisfies a threshold, then the system may display, at the UI, a message indicating to a user to preferentially implement one component over another.
