Abstract
Impact analysis provides the ability to determine the objects that a particular object depends on or uses, as well as determine the objects that are dependent on or use a particular object. The term object may refer to tasks and/or object types, for example. Impact analysis is desirable for improving user productivity in large, complex documents because it facilitates determining how and where an object is used by other objects in the system, thereby potentially saving a great deal of manual work.
