Abstract

See full text

A system and method determines the differences between versions of an object, such as a file. The object versions are compared using a differencing tool to identify the differences between the versions. A scoring algorithm may be selected for the object based on one or more attributes of the object. The scoring algorithm is used to compute a difference score for the object. The difference score may be a function of the differences between the object versions and the characteristics or qualities of those differences. The difference score provides an indication of the relative importance of the changes made to the object. The difference scores from multiple objects may be presented in an interactive report, and sorted to identify those objects that underwent the most significant or noteworthy changes.
