METHOD FOR PRE-TESTING SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY AND SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

A method for pre-testing software compatibility is illustrated. A system and software information of an operating system is extracted. While that a patch or new software will be installed in the operating system is detected, whether a compatibility test should be executed is determined. While that the compatibility test should be executed is detected, a virtual machine with a first clone system is generated, wherein the first clone system is generated according to the system and software information. The patch or the new software is installed in the first clone system to generate a second clone system. The compatibility test for the second clone system is executed. According to a result of the compatibility test, whether the patch or new software can be installed in the operating system or the second clone system can be switched to be used is determined.

1. A method for pre-testing software compatibility, comprising:
extracting a system and software information of an operating system; while detecting that a patch or a new software will be installed in the operating system, determining whether a compatibility test should be executed; while detecting that the compatibility test should be executed, generating a virtual machine with a first clone system, wherein the first clone system is generated according to the system and software information; installing the patch or the new software in the first clone system to generate a second clone system; executing the compatibility test for the second clone system; and according to a result of the compatibility test, determining whether the patch or the new software can be installed or the second clone system can be switched to be used.
