Abstract

A framework for aggregating updates for individual modules into an update for a containing module is disclosed. The containing module may be an entire program or workflow, for example. The updates may include changes to the contract of a module. Embodiments of the invention further provide a framework for detecting when changes to an inner module are incompatible with changes to the containing module.
