Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon determine whether an output value of a dependency graph has a particular characteristic. In one embodiment, to make this determination, a dependency graph is generated that illustrates external and internal nodes, in addition to their dependency to one another. External nodes, or those nodes that do not depend on other nodes, are analyzed to determine whether they have a particular characteristic. Depending on the operation associated with the characteristic, it may then be determined whether the output value of the dependency graph also has that characteristic.
