Abstract
The present invention is directed to the quantitative measurement of the autonomic capabilities of computing systems. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: subjecting the computing system to a workload; injecting a disturbance into the computing system; providing a notification that the computing system has detected a problem in response to the injected disturbance; determining an amount of time required to initiate a recovery procedure to address the detected problem; and determining an amount of time required to execute the recovery procedure.
Claims21
A method for measuring autonomic capability of a computing system, comprising:
- subjecting the computing system to a workload;
- injecting a disturbance into the computing system;
- providing a notification that the computing system has detected a problem in response to the injected disturbance;
- determining an amount of time required to initiate a recovery procedure to address the detected problem;
- and
- determining an amount of time required to execute the recovery procedure.
A system for measuring autonomic capability of a computing system, comprising:
- a system for subjecting the computing system to a workload;
- a system for injecting a disturbance into the computing system;
- a system for providing a notification that the computing system has detected a problem in response to the injected disturbance;
- a system for determining an amount of time required to initiate a recovery procedure to address the detected problem;
- and
- a system for determining an amount of time required to execute the recovery procedure.
A program product stored on a computer readable medium for measuring autonomic capability of a computing system, the computer readable medium comprising program code for performing the following steps:
- subjecting the computing system to a workload;
- injecting a disturbance into the computing system;
- providing a notification that the computing system has detected a problem in response to the injected disturbance;
- determining an amount of time required to initiate a recovery procedure to address the detected problem;
- and
- determining an amount of time required to execute the recovery procedure.
