Proactive change verification

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for proactive change verification is provided. Aspects include analyzing runtime execution characteristics from a plurality of base activity metrics and a plurality of experimental activity metrics and creating a plurality of activity pairs wherein each activity pair comprises a base activity metric and its corresponding experimental activity metric. Aspects also include identifying significant activity pairs from the plurality of activity pairs wherein the experimental activity significantly deviates from its corresponding base activity and classifying significant activity pairs by deviation type. Aspects further include sorting activity pairs by their impact and removing activity pairs that have an impact of less than a threshold amount, wherein the threshold amount is based on the deviation type. Aspects also include correlating interacting impactful activity pairs temporally and prioritizing impactful activity pairs using experimental activity deviations and displaying the impactful activity pairs.
