Abstract
The present document pertains to systems and methods of dependency framework analysis to automatically identify errors in the dependency framework of an application or software module. Variations discussed include devices and methods for identifying errors in an object dependency graph by techniques such as determining a module and module type associated with a method at a plugin point on the object dependency graph; automatically selecting, from a set of testlets, at least one testlet associated with the determined module type, where each testlet is associated with one or more common dependency errors; and automatically creating, with a processor, at least one test suite for each selected testlet, where automatically creating includes building an executable code module that, when executed with a processor, analyzes the dependency graph at the plugin point and generates data showing a location and severity of common dependency errors within the graph.
