Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing application code changes. The method may include adding instrumentation code to a selected one or more of a plurality of software objects associated with an application, when a corresponding object class for the selected software objects matches at least one preferred object class. In response to at least one application-related event, detecting using the instrumentation code, one or more state changes of the selected software objects or one or more communications between at least two of the selected software objects. At least one baseline assertion may be generated using the instrumentation code based on the one or more state changes or communications. A notification may be generated upon detecting at least one subsequent assertion that does not match the at least one baseline assertion. A list with the at least one preferred object class may be accessed in a configuration file.
