Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing interfaces for software updating and code building. In one embodiment, a software code building interface is provided which includes a manufacturing and production process analyzer configured to divide the manufacturing and production process into multiple physical, discrete steps. The software code building interface includes other modules that identify dependencies between the discrete steps, generate reusable, global software code elements having data structures that are implemented to dynamically create interactive interfaces that present and allow interaction with the discrete steps, and access the generated global software code elements and the identified dependencies to generate interactive manufacturing and production process interfaces. These interfaces allow users to provide information relating to the discrete steps, ensuring that the manufacturing and production process is performed in an intended manner.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to performing risk-based software validation and to applying change control when upgrading a software application. In one scenario, a computer system calculates a risk score for features in a software application. This risk score indicates a relative level of risk for installing and using the software application. The computer system performs internal usage testing to determine how the software application is recommended for use, and conducts use tests to determine how a specified client uses the features of the software application as compared to the determined recommended use. Then, based on the calculated risk and the determined use of the features, the computer system provides a recommendation for the specified client indicating which portions of the software application are to undergo client-specific validation. In another scenario, a computer system applies change control when upgrading a software application from a first version to a second version.
