Simplify Schema Analysis with the Drybridge Investigator

Sample Investigator Output

XML schemas evolve over time. Your ability to quickly analyze and identify changes allows you to identify the impact of these changes on your environment and proceed with their implementation.

The Drybridge Schema Investigator© compares the two schemas or two groups of schemas and presents the information ordered by schema item (elements, attributes, complex types, simple types, attribute groups, and groups). The technical analysis presents detailed analysis for all items the business analysis shows only elements and attributes - the key business items.

  • Compare individual schemas or a group of schemas
  • Output can be tailored to your needs
  • Business analysis version for schema implementers
  • Technical analysis version for schema developers

Investigator Program Options

The Drybridge Schema Investigator© spreadsheets are designed to provide the functional information that business-oriented users require as well as the granular details that developers require to understand and audit XML schema changes made as part of a new version release. The Investigator© adds a level of assurance to your development process.

The spreadsheets are easy to generate taking anywhere from a minute to compare two schemas, to less than five minutes, for a folder comparison of forty-plus schemas. This ability to quickly generate comparative spreadsheets allows you to seamlessly integrate the Investigator©  into your workflow.

The Drybridge Investigator© results are presented in two forms, a technical version and a version oriented towards business users. You can tailor the output to meet your needs.

The technical version of the results would be used by schema developers to verify and validate every change made between two versions of the schema.

The business version of the results would be used by schema implementers to identify functional differences between two versions of the schema. This spreadsheet provides information about changes to the schema that potentially will have an impact on existing implementations.

The Drybridge Investigator© is available in a free‑to‑use demonstration form that is Windows OS independent and Microsoft Office Version independent.
