A method for developing software in which the software comprises a plurality of programs. A change to a program is received. A data structure checking procedure may then be invoked. The changed program is parsed for a reference to a data structure. Other instances of the data structure are located in other programs within the software. The referenced data structure is compared to the located other instances of the data structure. A predefined action (such as notifying a programmer or correcting the inconsistencies) is performed in response to any detected differences between the referenced data structure and the located other instances of the data structure. These steps are repeated for all data structures within the changed program.
