A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for affording consistency in a development architecture framework as components in the framework change. A reference program code is provided and a plurality of sets of updated program code are received which represent different versions of the program code. The sets of the updated program code are compared with the reference program code in order to identify information relating to changes and the information is classified in relation to the changes. Tools are also provided for managing the different versions of the program code.
