Abstract

In accordance with a technique of parallelized computer system testing, a processor develops, on a representative computer system, a plurality of groups of system tests based on test-ordering constraints, where the system tests in each of the plurality of groups are executable in a temporally overlapping manner. The processor applies a test suite including a sequence of multiple of the plurality of groups of system tests to a production computer system. Applying the test suite includes performing the system tests in each of multiple of the plurality of tests groups in a temporally overlapping manner, such that testing efficiency is improved.
