System, Device, and Method for Continuous Modelling to Simiulate Test Results

A method for simulating application performance prior to performance testing, the method comprising:

• obtaining results of a preliminary simulation of an application in a development environment;
• processing the obtained results from the preliminary simulation, with a profiling tool, and generating a software model based on an output of the profiling tool;
• configuring a workload model and a hardware model to account for a desired scenario;
• defining a performance model using the software model, the workload model, and the hardware model;
• and
• prior to testing the application, using the performance model to simulate performance of the application in the desired scenario.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for simulating application performance prior to performance testing, the computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for:

• obtaining results of a preliminary simulation of an application in a development environment;
• processing the obtained results from the preliminary simulation, with a profiling tool, and generating a software model based on an output of the profiling tool;
• configuring a workload model and a hardware model to account for a desired scenario;
• defining a performance model using the software model, the workload model, and the hardware model;
• and
• prior to testing the application, using the performance model to simulate performance of the application in the desired scenario.
