Abstract

A computer-implemented method (CIM), according to one embodiment, includes building a first support profile for a first predetermined product that is scheduled to be released. The first support profile is based on historical data of predetermined types. The CIM further includes calculating, based on the first support profile, a number of expected escapes for at least a first functional area of the first predetermined product, and predicting a total number of customer cases that will result from the scheduled release. An indication of the predicted total number of customer cases is added in a cost report about the scheduled release of the first predetermined product.
