Network routing tool
A middleware system validation tool comprising includes a retrieval engine, and a network component status engine. The retrieval engine retrieves a pre-change activity status before software is modified on a network component. The middleware system validation tool retrieves a post-change status after the software is modified and compares the pre-change status to the post-change status to determine whether the software modification was successful. The middleware system validation tool receives certification information from the network component that includes information for an SSL certificate to determine whether the SSL certificate is valid.
