Abstract
Application validation is performed based at least in part on object level hierarchy data associated with the application. An application is executed on a physical or emulated host device, and assembly code is generated for the executing application. The assembly code is analyzed to identify objects associated with the application, and to identify relationships between the objects. Based on the object and relationship data, an object level hierarchy is generated for the application. Validation of the application may be performed by comparing an object level hierarchy for a current version of the application to a previously generated hierarchy for a previous version of the application to identify differences between to the two hierarchies.
