Quality assessment and decision recommendation for continuous deployment of cloud infrastructure components

Abstract:

Methods, systems and computer program products are described for obtaining deployment signals comprising information relating to deployments of software components to a plurality of computing devices, obtaining fault signals comprising information relating to faults encountered by the plurality of computing devices, and obtaining device type information that describes a device type of each of the plurality of computing devices. Based on the deployment signals, fault signals, and device type information, a correlation score for each combination of software component, fault, and device type is obtained. Based on the correlation scores, attribution level decisions, fault type level decisions and device type level decisions are made. Based on these decisions, an overall decision is rendered whether to proceed or not proceed with a future deployment of the software component.
