Abstract
A method for validating a knowledge package involves generating the knowledge package, where the knowledge package includes guidelines for obtaining and installing software deliverables. The method further involves obtaining the software deliverables based on the guidelines in the knowledge package, performing a test installation of the software deliverables on a managed host, based on the guidelines in the knowledge package, generating an incident report indicating that the test installation has failed, and updating the knowledge package based on the incident report.
