Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to recommend software patches based on task operation mapping. In embodiments, a method includes abstracting test cases for a software patch into a sequence of task operations and parameters associated with each task operation; encoding the task operations and the parameters associated with each task operation based on predetermined rules, thereby generating encoded task operations with unique identifiers assigned thereto and associated encoded parameters with numeric values assigned thereto; generating, using machine learning, a list of frequent operation items, based on the encoded task operations and the associated encoded parameters; generating, using clustering, clusters of parameters for each frequent operation item in the list of frequent operation items; and sending a software patch package including the list of frequent operation items, the clusters of parameters and the software patch to a remote server for distribution to one or more user devices.
