Abstract:
1. A system comprising: determination logic configured to automatically determine a number of clients to be allocated in a targeted environment for participation in a test of a software program based on a specified cumulative workload; allocation logic configured to automatically allocate the number of clients in the targeted environment to perform operations that impose the cumulative workload against the targeted environment, each client of the number of clients imposing a respective proportion of the cumulative load against the targeted environment; execution logic configured to execute the test of the software program with respect to the number of clients such that each client of the number of clients simulates use of the software program by at least one user; reporting logic configured to generate a report that includes test results describing performance of the software program during the test; aggregation logic configured to automatically aggregate information regarding the test results from the report to provide aggregated information that identifies a plurality of failures; and filtering logic configured to filter the aggregated information with respect to a plurality of common characteristics among the plurality of failures to determine whether a designated failure that occurs with respect to a specified client is included in the plurality of failures.
