ABSTRACT:
A system and method for assessing binary compatibility between software modules permits software end users to register with a system, download software tools for testing binary compatibility between one or more ABIs and binary files resident on the end users' computer system(s). The testing generates a file including the results of the binary compatibility test for each binary file tested. A unique identifier of each binary file, e.g., the MD5 signature of the binary code, may be uploaded with the results of the compatibility test. The results of the compatibility test and the unique identifier may be further analyzed to determine a risk profile that the binary file(s) on the end user's computer system(s) is not binary compatible with a particular ABI. A report may be generated indicating the binary compatibility risk profile of the files resident on the user's computer system.
