Publication number: 20240146824Abstract: A network management system tests the availability of a network resource before a user performs a task with the network resource. The system measures network activity of a user performing one or more tasks. The network activity includes communication between a user device of the user and each network resource associated with a corresponding task performed by the user. The system also generates a digital model persona of the user based on the tasks performed by the user, and determines a schedule of the tasks performed the user. Each particular task is associated with a corresponding execution time for the user. The system further configures the digital model persona to test the network resource associated with each corresponding task at a testing time that is a predetermined length of time prior to the execution time for the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Jay Kemper Johnston, David C.
