Using test workload run facts and problem discovery data as input for business analytics to determine test effectiveness

A computer program product for improved software testing comprising:

• a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
• preloading, by a processor, into a database data related to workloads and workload data, data related to analysis points, and customer data;
• determining, by the processor, whether to modify a workload model, to run a workload or to perform one of post processing analytics or run time analytics;
• responsive to running a workload, collecting workload run facts comprising a workload configuration or model information, workload feedback data, and system feedback data, wherein the workload feedback data comprises one or more of a transaction mix, number of simulated users, a transaction rate, failure rate per transaction and a number and distribution of errors and failures;
• performing, by the processor, one of post processing analytics or run time analytics of the data preloaded into the database;
• and
• providing visual workload feedback including rates and errors, or visual system feedback with customer data convergence visualization, or system alerts for out of convergence issues, via a display.
