Dynamic resource provisioning for use cases

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable and/or executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• receive, by the processor, a request to facilitate a testing environment, wherein the request specifies a number and type of resources to be included in the testing environment;
• inspect, by the processor, a database, wherein the database lists available resources in systems and/or devices that are in communication with the processor;
• compare, by the processor, the available resources to the number and type of resources specified in the request to be included in the testing environment;
• in response to determining that a valid combination of the available resources meets the number and type of resources specified in the request to be included in the testing environment, cause, by the processor, the database to be updated to indicate that each of the resources in the valid combination are in use;
• and
• satisfy, by the processor, the request by returning information about the resources in the valid combination.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor, the logic being configured to:
• receive, by the processor, a request to facilitate a testing environment,
• wherein the request specifies a number and type of resources to be included in the testing environment,
• wherein the request specifies capacity levels, functional capabilities, and data separation settings of the resources to be included in the testing environment;
• inspect, by the processor, a database, wherein the database lists available resources in systems and/or devices that are in communication with the processor;
• compare, by the processor, the available resources to the number and type of resources specified in the request to be included in the testing environment;
• in response to determining that a valid combination of the available resources meets the number and type of resources specified in the request to be included in the testing environment, cause, by the processor, the database to be updated to indicate that each of the resources in the valid combination are in use;
• and
• satisfy, by the processor, the request by returning information about the resources in the valid combination.
