Abstract: Aspects of feature-based reporting of software versions are described. A set of features of a software configured on a computing device is ascertained. A first database is queried, based on a current version of the software installed on the computing device and the set of features, to obtain a list of relevant defects addressed for each feature in later versions of the software. A second database is queried, based on the current version of the software and the set of features, to obtain a list of relevant enhancements provided for each feature of the set of features in the later versions. A report is generated based on responses received from the first and second database. The report comprises, for each feature, a summary of the list of relevant defects addressed and the list of relevant enhancements provided in each later version.

Abstract: A method for network testing simulation includes generating a simulated network configuration comprising a plurality of simulation nodes based on a topology of an existing network. The method also includes determining a peak traffic for the existing network based on a volume of traffic processed by the existing network, and a plurality of protocols of the traffic. The method further includes generating a simulated traffic based on the peak traffic, the protocols, and the simulated network configuration. Additionally, the method includes processing the simulated traffic using the simulated network configuration to generate a plurality of simulation states of the nodes. Also, the method includes determining whether the software upgrade is tested successfully based on the generated states of the nodes.
