Abstract:
A computerized method, program product, system, and service to verify installation of computer software onto an endpoint machine. The software to be installed is evaluated to determine what operating parameters of the endpoint machine may be affected by the software deployment, installation, and execution. Acceptable ranges of these operating parameters are included with the list of potentially affected parameters, distributed with the software module or sent as a separate script. Metrics are collected during the software installation, e.g., before deployment, after deployment but before installation, after installation, during execution, etc. How and when these operating parameters are monitored can be programmable. If and when the operating parameters extend beyond the acceptable ranges, a message that the software was not successfully installed is generated. The endpoint machine can be rolled back to a prior configuration.
