An automated, dynamic system and method of testing infrastructure-as-code (IaC). The system is configured to validate infrastructure provisioned in multi-cloud environments and is able to accommodate any cloud provider. Implementation of such as system can eliminate manual errors, as well as enable early detection of errors (i.e., before production deployment), thus empowering early 'go live'. Furthermore, the proposed embodiments are configured to integrate with already existing devOps pipelines for rapid test execution and can run as many times as needed with minimal configuration, allowing for creation and execution of complex scenarios to test low-level validation upon cloud infrastructure setup.

System and method for serverless application testing

This document describes modeling and simulation techniques to select a cloud architecture profile based on correlations between application workloads and resource utilization. In some aspects, a method includes obtaining infrastructure data specifying utilization of computing resources of an existing computing system. Application workload data specifying tasks performed by one or more applications running on the existing computing system is obtained. One or more models are generated based on the infrastructure data and the application workload data. The model(s) define an impact on utilization of each computing resource in response to changes in workloads of the application(s). A workload is simulated, using the model(s), on a candidate cloud architecture profile that specifies a set of computing resources. A simulated utilization of each computing resource of the candidate cloud architecture profile is determined based on the simulation. An updated cloud architecture profile is generated based on the simulated utilization.

The disclosed system and method for software testing provide a strategy for testing new software functionalities in a sequence that detects defects according to a testing strategy designed to accomplish a predetermined objective. Providing a pre-testing stage generates test execution results for test cases designed to find defects related to new functionalities. Using machine learning clustering techniques to identify which test cases are similar to one another facilitates organizing test cases in a sequence appropriate for accomplishing a predetermined objective.

A device identifies training data and scoring data for a model, and removes bias from the training data to generate unbiased training data. The device trains the model with the unbiased training data to generate trained models, and processes the trained models, with the scoring data, to generate scores for the trained models. The device selects a trained model, from the trained models, based on model metrics and the scores, and processes a training sample, with the trained model, to generate first results, wherein the training sample is created based on the unbiased training data and production data.
