Method for validating a product portfolio

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a hardware processor of an information handling system, a set of validation items to be validated on that particular platform for each of a plurality of platforms of a portfolio of platforms;
• determining that a first set of validation items for a first platform includes a first validation item, wherein the first set of validation items includes a first number of validation items;
• determining that a second set of validation items for a second platform includes a second validation item, wherein the second set of validation items includes a second number of validation items, the second number of validation items being less than the first number of validation items;
• comparing the first validation item with the second validation item to determine if the first and second validation items are duplicate validation items;
• and
• when the first and second validations are duplicate validation items, and based upon the second number of validation items being less than the first number of validation items:
• modifying the first set of validation items to exclude the first validation item;
• and
• maintaining the second set of validation items to include the second validation item.

A portfolio validation management system, comprising:

• a hardware processor to execute code;
• and
• a memory to store the code;
• wherein the processor is configured to execute the code to:
• receive, for each of a plurality of information handling systems of a portfolio of information handling systems, a set of validation items to be validated on that particular information handling system;
• determine that a first set of validation items for a first information handling system includes a first validation item, wherein the first set of validation items includes a first number of validation items;
• determine that a second set of validation items for a second information handling system includes a second validation item, wherein the second set of validation items includes a second number of validation items, the second number of validation items being less than the first number of validation items;
• compare the first validation item with the second validation item to determine if the first and second validation items are duplicate validation items;
• and
• when the first and second validations are duplicate validation items, modify the first set of validation items to exclude the first validation item, and maintain the second set of validation items to include the second validation item.
