Technology regression and verification acceptance method

A regression and verification system in a computer network environment, the system comprising:

• a plurality of hardware, software and network platforms available to be exercised;
• a storage area containing at least defined criteria data, theme data, regression baselines and timeslice information;
• error and deviation data;
• a plurality of recommendations based upon said theme;
• a control mechanism for managing an acceptance and regression verification process;
• a performance mechanism for exercising a selected customer's technology utilizing instructions and pointers in said theme to direct the performance mechanism;
• a regression evaluator mechanism, operating as directed by said theme, for identifying errors, deviation and performance information for comparison and then comparing the evaluated information from the exercising of the platforms with said regression baselines and timeslices;
• a classification mechanism for classifying said errors, deviation and performance information as directed by said theme;
• a tabulation mechanism for tabulating said errors, deviation and performance information as directed by said theme;
• a recommendation mechanism for identifying actions and improvement steps as directed by said theme based upon the errors, deviations and other regression information;
• a results reporting mechanism for providing information reflecting the results of said performance mechanism, regression evaluation mechanism, classification mechanism, tabulation mechanism and recommendation mechanism as directed by said theme.
