Guided testing regime generation and selection

A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, the computer-program product including instructions operable to cause at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• generate, for visual presentation on a display communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, a prompt for selection of a first pathway of prompts for parameter values of a testing regime to traverse from among a set of pathways comprising:
• a test-focused pathway comprising initial prompts for initial parameter values for test-related parameters of the testing regime, and subsequent prompts for subsequent parameter values for at least one of:
• model-related parameters of a model associated with the testing regime of a system under evaluation;
• or
• term-related parameters of terms and responses of the model;
• a model-focused pathway comprising initial prompts for initial parameter values for the model-related parameters, and subsequent prompts for subsequent parameter values for at least one of the test-related parameters or the term-related parameters;
• and
• a term-focused pathway comprising initial prompts for initial parameter values for the term-related parameters, and subsequent prompts for subsequent parameter values for at least one of the test-related parameters or the model-related parameters;
• receive, from an input device communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, an indication of the selection of the first pathway to traverse;
• in response to the selection of the first pathway, perform operations associated with traversing the first pathway, the operations associated with traversing the first pathway comprising:
• visually present, on the display, the initial prompts of the first pathway, followed by the subsequent prompts of the first pathway;
• and
• receive, from the input device, at least one indication of specification of an initial parameter value of the first pathway or a subsequent parameter value of the first pathway;
• in response to completion of the traversal of the first pathway, generate, for visual presentation on the display, a prompt for selection of a second pathway to traverse from among the set of pathways, wherein the second pathway comprises a different one of the pathways of the set of pathways from the first pathway;
• receive, from the input device, an indication of the selection of the second pathway to traverse;
• and
• in response to the selection of the second pathway, perform operations associated with traversing the second pathway.
