Method and System for Detecting Common Attributes of Network Upgrades

A system, comprising:

• a memory device storing a set of data correlating network triggers to performance changes of one or more network devices, the set of data further including an indication of a sign of the performance change for each of the network devices based on the triggers;
• and
• an analysis device receiving the set of data from the memory device and extracting a set of rules relating to a set of relationships between the triggers and the performance changes, wherein the rules identify a commonality of the performance changes for multiple network devices based on the triggers.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions being operable to:

• receive a set of data correlating network triggers to performance changes of one or more network devices, the set of data further including an indication of a sign of the performance change for each of the network devices based on the triggers;
• and
• extract a set of rules relating to a set of relationships between the triggers and the performance changes, wherein the rules identify a commonality of the performance changes for multiple network devices based on the triggers.
