Test Plan Generation Using Machine Learning

A system comprising:

• at least one data processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one data processor, result in operations comprising:
• initiating, in an operating environment, testing of a software system comprising a plurality of software programs executing across multiple computing nodes;
• selectively altering resources available to one or more of the software programs according to a test plan;
• selectively altering functional and/or performance characteristics of one or more parts of the operating environment and/or the software programs under test according to the test plan;
• monitoring, concurrent with the altering of resources and the altering of functional and/or performance characteristics, behavior and/or performance of the software system to identify faults;
• and
• providing data characterizing the faults.

A non-transitory computer program product storing instructions which, when executed by at least one data processor forming part of at least one computing device, results in operations comprising:

• initiating, in an operating environment, testing of a software system comprising a plurality of software programs executing across multiple computing nodes;
• selectively altering resources available to one or more of the software programs according to a test plan;
• selectively altering functional and/or performance characteristics of one or more parts of the operating environment and/or the software programs under test according to the test plan;
• monitoring, concurrent with the altering of resources and the altering of functional and/or performance characteristics, behavior and/or performance of the software system to identify faults;
• and
• providing data characterizing the faults.
