Adaptive testing using dynamically determined system resources of a computer system

An adaptive testing system, comprising:

• a computer system, wherein the computer system comprises one or more computers, each of the one or more computers having at least one processor, and a non-transitory storage medium storing an operating system, a test program, and computer executable instructions, wherein when executed at the at least one processor, the computer executable instructions cause the processor to perform adaptive testing using dynamically determined system resources of the computer system;
• and
• the test program executing on the computer system, wherein the test program comprises:
• an adaptive testing module of a test program sending at least one resource query based on one or more criteria to a resource query module of the test program through a query request transmission module to inquire about one or more available system resources of the computer system;
• the resource query module of the test program using one or more operating system commands of the computer system to determine appropriate system resources available for use on the computer system and receive the appropriate system resources determined on the computer system;
• a query results selection module receiving the appropriate system resources determined on the computer system through a query results receiving module, and deciding on one or more system resources that best meet a need of the test program to send to the adaptive testing module;
• and
• the adaptive testing module performing the adaptive testing on the computer system based on the one or more system resources decided on
• wherein the test program performs:
• one or more functional tests on the computer system;
• one or more system tests on the computer system;
• and
• one or more performance tests on the computer system.

A computer program product operable on an adaptive testing system, comprising a non-transitory computer storage medium readable by the adaptive testing system having a processor and a memory configured to store an operating system, a test program and computer executable instructions for execution by the processor of the adaptive testing system for performing a method of adaptive testing using dynamically determined system resources of a computer system, comprising:

• sending at least one resource query based on one or more criteria to to inquire about one or more available system resources of the computer system;
• determining, using one or more operating system commands of the computer system, appropriate system resources available for use on the computer system;
• receiving the appropriate system resources determined on the computer system and deciding on one or more system resources that best meet a need of the test program;
• and
• performing the adaptive testing on the computer system based on the one or more system resources decided, wherein the test program performs:
• one or more functional tests on the computer system;
• one or more system tests on the computer system;
• and
• one or more performance tests on the computer system.
