Software code change reversal tool

Abstract:

A tool may identify and revert changes that caused network hardware components or hardware servers to malfunction. The tool builds and maintains a graph that represents the hardware components and servers in the system and their dependencies. When a change is made to the system, links and weights in the graph are adjusted to account for the changes. When a component or server is reported as malfunctioning, the tool traverses the graph to locate the changes that are the most likely root causes of the malfunction. The tool may then revert the change to resolve the malfunction.
