The same tools you used in assessing the customer’s current network can also be applied to designs anticipating future modifications. For example, a customer’s switch chassis may have exactly the number of slots to accomodate the current number of ports needed. You suggest that the customer considers a larger chassis for future growth, but there is reluctance because the customer is concerned that the larger chassis will require an entire new set of blades. Using the Hardware Compatibility Matrix, you can determine whether or not the blades can be used in both switches. If so, the customer may find the upgrade easier to justify.
The Software Compatibility Matricies, TAC Software Advisor, and the Bug Toolkit can also be useful in future modifications.

The first part of the explanation seems to be talking about Dynamic Configuration Tool, which is used to align hardware compatibility.

The Cisco Bug Toolkit is the best answer because it allows one to search for a known bug (e.g. reported in advisory or article) to see if present in your device or IOS version.
