Computer-implemented methods and systems for determining application matching status
Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for determining application matching status. In one implementation, a method is implemented with one or more processors and includes accessing, at a server, a first dependency tree representing a first application and a second dependency tree, and acquiring one or more values for the first dependency tree and one or more values for the second dependency tree. The method also includes comparing the one or more values of the first dependency tree with the one or more values of the second dependency tree. The method further includes determining a matching status between the first application and an application represented by the second dependency tree based on the comparison, and providing, for display, an indication of the matching status.

compare the one or more first values of the first dependency tree with the one or more second values of the second dependency tree;
determine a matching status between the first application and an application represented by the second dependency tree based on the comparison, wherein each of the first dependency tree and the second dependency tree represent one or more executable files, one or more library files, and one or more API calls of the respective application; and

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein each of the first application and the application is either a new application or a newer version of an existing application.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions that are executable by one or more processors of one or more servers to cause the one or more servers to perform a method comprising:
accessing a first dependency tree representing a first application and a second dependency tree;
acquiring, at a server, one or more first values representing at least a portion of the first dependency tree and one or more second values representing at least a portion of the second dependency tree, wherein one or more of the first or second values represent multiple portions of the respective dependency tree;
