The process of deploying, installing, and using software upgrades (also called updates or patches) is riddled with problems resulting from a poor integration between upgrade development, deployment, and remote (user-site) testing. Thus, we are building a distributed framework, called Mirage, for integrating deployment and remote testing into a structured and efficient upgrade development cycle that encompasses both software vendors (as well as software contributors and distributors) and users. When completed, our framework will produce upgrades that behave properly with high confidence when widely deployed, thereby reducing the exposure of users to problematic upgrades and facilitating the debugging of problems by the vendors. Given these benefits and the extreme importance of upgrades for most computer users and vendors, the practical impact of Mirage can be significant. We will disseminate our findings and source code through our educational program, over the Web, and through scientific publications in major conferences and journals.

部署，安装和使用软件升级（也称为更新或补丁）的过程中，由于升级开发，部署和远程（用户站点）测试之间的集成不佳而导致的问题。 因此，我们正在构建一个称为Mirage的分布式框架，用于将部署和远程测试集成到结构化和高效的升级开发周期中，该周期涵盖了软件供应商（以及软件贡献者和分销商）和用户。 完成后，我们的框架将产生升级，在广泛部署时会高度信心行事，从而减少用户在有问题的升级和促进供应商对问题调试的情况下的暴露。 鉴于这些好处和升级的极端重要性对于大多数计算机用户和供应商而言，Mirage的实际影响可能很大。 我们将通过我们的教育计划，网络以及主要会议和期刊的科学出版物来传播我们的发现和源代码。
