Abstract:
1. A computer-implementable method for load testing of a data processing system, comprising a processor operable to execute processing logic used for: connecting a first plurality of virtual users to a first subsystem of a data processing system and a second plurality of virtual users to a second subsystem of said data processing system, wherein said first subsystem and said second subsystem are operating in a healthy state; processing performance data associated with said first subsystem to detect performance degradation of said first subsystem to a defective state; disconnecting individual virtual users of said second plurality of virtual users from said second subsystem and reconnecting said individual virtual users to said first subsystem, wherein said disconnecting and reconnecting is performed selectively to accelerate said performance degradation of said first subsystem; and monitoring said performance degradation of said first subsystem to detect the source of said performance degradation.
