Patent ID: 7783469

Claim:
A method of generating a simulated collaborative mix workload for assessing performance of enterprise software executed on a hardware platform, the method comprising: generating the simulated collaborative mix workload by executing at least two of a team spaces path, a documents path, a learning path, a messaging path, or a web conference path; wherein the team spaces path generates a simulated discussion with team members and generates a search query for locating a forum within the team space; wherein the documents path generates a library search to locate a document, opens the document, reads the document, and generates a simulated chat about the document; wherein the learning path launches a simulated course and a simulated assessment activity; wherein the messaging path reads a simulated email, attaches a document to the simulated email, and sends the simulated email with the attached document; wherein the web conference path generates a web conference attended by a plurality of simulated users; and wherein at least one of the team spaces path, documents path, learning path, or messaging path are performed more than once; such that the collaborative mix workload includes a combination of mail, instant messaging, electronic meetings, documents, and electronic learning.
