Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for automating testing of a software product under system resource constraints, the method comprising: receiving, by a computer, one or more software quality attributes (SQAs) and, for each SQA, a confidence level and an importance; receiving, by the computer, for one or more system resources, an amount of each system resource available for testing; apportioning, by the computer, each amount of system resource available for testing to the SQAs in an amount proportional to the importance of the SQA and in an inverse relation to the confidence level of the SQA; assigning, by the computer, to each test in a set of tests, a priority based on the number of SQAs associated with the test and any previous results of the test; for each SQA: updating, by the computer, confidence levels based on the test results for the selected subset of tests.
