Abstract
Techniques for device modification analysis are disclosed. For example, a method comprises collecting operational data from one or more devices, and receiving one or more modifications to at least one of firmware and software for the one or more devices. In the method, one or more virtual instances of respective ones of the one or more devices are generated, and the one or more modifications are tested on the one or more virtual instances to determine if there are one or more issues with the one or more modifications.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- collecting operational data from one or more devices;
- receiving one or more modifications to at least one of firmware and software for the one or more devices;
- generating one or more virtual instances of respective ones of the one or more devices;
- and
- testing the one or more modifications on the one or more virtual instances to determine if there are one or more issues with the one or more modifications;
- wherein the steps of the method are executed by at least one processing device operatively coupled to at least one memory.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processing device operatively coupled to a memory and configured:
- to collect operational data from one or more devices;
- to receive one or more modifications to at least one of firmware and software for the one or more devices;
- to generate one or more virtual instances of respective ones of the one or more devices;
- and
- to test the one or more modifications on the one or more virtual instances to determine if there are one or more issues with the one or more modifications.
An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes said at least one processing device to perform the steps of:
- collecting operational data from one or more devices;
- receiving one or more modifications to at least one of firmware and software for the one or more devices;
- generating one or more virtual instances of respective ones of the one or more devices;
- and
- testing the one or more modifications on the one or more virtual instances to determine if there are one or more issues with the one or more modifications.
