Test plan generation using machine learning

Abstract:

Testing of a software system is initiated in an operating environment. The software system includes a plurality of software programs executing across multiple computing nodes. Thereafter, the operating environment and/or resources available to one or more of the software programs are selectively altered according to a test plan. In addition, functional and/or performance characteristics of one or more parts of the operating environment and/or the software programs under test are also selectively altered according to the test plan. In addition, concurrent with the altering of the operating environment and/or the resources and the altering of functional and/or performance characteristics, behavior and/or performance of the software system are monitored to identify faults. Data characterizing the faults can be provided as input into the testing for analysis and feedback into generating better test plans as well as generating more optimal configurations of the software system itself and/or the operating environment.
