Abstract
The present arrangements relate to analyzing a software error. At least one dump file created in response to a crash of software executing on a processing system can be accessed. Based on the dump file, a base version of at least one software module that was loaded when the crash occurred can be identified. Based on the dump file, maintenance that has been applied to the at least one software module also can be identified. A report recommending new corrective maintenance to be applied to the at least one software module can be generated.
