Abstract:

A mechanism is provided to identify wall-clock time reference dependency in one or more software components of a data analytics solution. The data analytics solution is decomposed into a set of software components. A first software component of the set of software components is deployed to a first computer server and the remaining software components are deployed to a second computer server. A system clock time on the first computer server is changed to differ from the system clock of the second computer server. Based on executing a test on the data analytics solution, a determination is made of whether the first software component, is wall-clock time independent. Responsive to the test of the of the software component failing indicating that the wall-clock time of the software component is dependent of the system clock time difference, the software component is recorded as wall-clock time dependent and an administrator is notified.
