Abstract: A network performance degradation detection system is provided. The system receives Key Performance Indicator (KPI) values for devices of different device types running different software versions. The system determines baseline values of a first device type by averaging the KPI values of the different software versions running on devices of the first device type. The system compares KPI values for a first software version running on devices of the first device type with the determined baseline values to produce a set of comparison results. The system applies the set of comparison results to a classification model to determine whether the first software version running on devices of the first device type causes network performance degradation.
