INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE ASSET CLASSIFICATION FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE VALIDATION

摘要

In a system including a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory includes executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the system to perform functions of receiving software asset information of software assets installed in hardware assets of an organization; determining popularity metrics of the software assets based on the collected software asset information; classifying, based on the popularity metrics, the software assets into popularity groups; identifying, based on the classification, a group of the software assets to be validated for a software update; identifying, based on the identified group of the software assets, a group of the hardware assets to be tested for the software update; and deploying the software update to the identified group of the hardware assets to validate the identified group of the software assets.
