Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of dynamically scheduling performance of tasks, wherein said tasks include one or more from a group including a test and a build, said computer-implemented method comprising: determining resources required by each task for performance of that task on a target system; comparing each task to a plurality of other tasks and determining a set of score values for each of the tasks, wherein each score value for a task represents a similarity between that task and another task, and wherein determining a score value for a task includes: comparing the score values of each of the tasks to a threshold and determining the score values satisfying the comparison to identify the tasks associated with the identified score values as having similar resource requirements; determining an order of performance for each of said tasks, wherein the identified tasks with similar resource requirements based on the score values are placed adjacent each other within said order to be performed successively; and scheduling said tasks to be performed on said target system in accordance with said order.
