Abstract

See full text

An approach for assuring quality of a software installer is presented. A first view of a system is recorded. The installer is executed to create installed components for an application, and subsequently, a second view of the system is recorded. Based on a recorded change between the first and second views, information about the installed components is recorded. The installation is determined to be successful or unsuccessful. If successful, selected installed components are removed. The installer is executed to reinstall the selected installed components. The reinstallation is verified. A third view of the system is recorded. An uninstaller is executed to uninstall the software application. A fourth view of the system is recorded. The uninstallation is verified. A report is generated using the first, second, third and fourth views.
