Automated and adaptive generation of test stimuli for a network or system

A system comprising:

• an analytics subsystem associated with a network or system that:
• analyzes responses of the network or system to a set of test stimuli introduced into the network or system to facilitate an analysis operation;
• and
• generates analytics data based on the analysis;
• and
• a stimulitics subsystem associated with the network or system that:
• receives the analytics data from at least the analytics subsystem;
• analyzes the analytics data based on an intended objective for the analysis operation;
• and
• generates, based on the analyzing of the analytics data, control settings for controlling creation of a subsequent stimulus to be introduced into the network or system during subsequent execution of the analysis operation.

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and when the software is executed operable to:

• receive analytics data that provides an indication of how a network or system is responding to a set of stimuli introduced into the network or system to facilitate an analysis operation;
• analyze the analytics data based on an intended objective for the analysis operation;
• and
• generate, based on the analyzing, control settings for controlling creation of a subsequent stimulus to be introduced into the network or system during subsequent execution of the analysis operation.
