At least with respect to computing, an upgrade may entail the replacement of a product—in the form of hardware, software, and/or firmware—with a newer or better version, which may serve to bring the product up to date, improve the characteristic(s) of the product, and/or resolve any issue(s) inflicting the product. Further, the process of upgrading a product in view of an issue therein is often reactive—that is, it is often required that a customer experiences and reports an issue for a product to a vendor prior to the issuance of an upgrade to the customer that addresses the issue for the product by the vendor. Presently, what is lacking is a mechanism through which product upgrades may be presented to customers proactively in order to minimize product failure and/or downtime."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Predicting post-upgrade outcomes in information technology environments through proactive upgrade issue testing","description":"A method and system for predicting post-upgrade outcomes in information technology environments through proactive upgrade issue testing.
