Abstract
Components to be verified for compatibility are identified. Each of the components maintains a relationship with the other components such that all of the components are compatible with one another. A change to one component triggers an automatic evaluation of the relationships between the changed component and the other components to determine if compatibility is maintained. The automatic evaluation of the relationships is based on predetermined compatibility information provided in a compatibility matrix. When the automatic evaluation identifies incompatibility between the changed component and the other components, the change is rejected.
