Patent ID: 8503632

Claim:
A device comprising: a processor configured to: receive, via a graphical user interface, information identifying: a percentage of network calls received during a particular time period to be routed to a system during the particular time period, a first quantity of the percentage of networks calls to be assigned to a first service associated with the system, and a second quantity of the percentage of the network calls to be assigned to a second service associated with the system, the second service being different from the first service, receive, via the graphical user interface, a selection of a first call path, of a plurality of call paths, of the system, a test load throttle controller being inserted into the first call path based on the selection of the first call path, determine, based on the percentage, the first quantity, and the second quantity, a traffic load profile for the system, and generate test loads over a prolonged period of time, that includes the particular time period, the processor, when generating the test loads, being capable of detecting: an issue related to a memory leak, and a degradation of a performance of the system when specific combinations of services are rendered to clients, the degradation of the overall system performance being capable of being determined without the specific combinations of services actually being rendered to the clients, and the processor, when generating the test loads, being configured to: receive, from the test load throttle controller, the network calls via the first call path, and route, during the particular time period and based on the traffic load profile, the percentage of network calls to the system, and the processor, when routing the percentage of network calls, being configured to: route the first quantity of the percentage of network calls to a component of the system associated with the first service over a particular amount of time during the particular time period, and route the second quantity of the percentage of network calls to a component of the system associated with the second service over the particular amount of time.
