Publication number: 20230153222Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and program products that can generate scaled-down load test models for testing real-world loads are disclosed herein. One method includes providing a test environment of a system including multiple nodes. The test environment includes virtual nodes corresponding to the system nodes and each virtual node functions under a virtual load similar to each corresponding node functioning under a real-world load. The method further includes utilizing a machine learning algorithm to repeatedly apply at least one virtual load to the virtual node(s) in the test environment until a scaled-down load test model mimicking the system under a pre-defined real-world load is generated. Here, the virtual load(s) applied to the virtual node(s) is/are comparatively smaller relative to each of corresponding real-world loads for the node(s) defining the pre-defined real-world load. Systems, apparatus, and program products that include and/or perform the methods are also disclosed herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Matthew Fardig, Sathish Kumar Ganesan, Joshua Smith, Timothy Robbins
