Abstract
The invention relates to a method of determining the performance of an optimizer program arranged to generate a plan. The method generally comprises the steps of executing the optimizer utilising at least one test case to derive a pre-variation plan; executing the pre-variation plan to generate a first output; varying a strategy of the optimizer program; executing the varied optimizer program utilising the at least one test case to derive a post-variation plan; and executing the post-variation plan to generate a second output. The outputs are then grouped according to at least one element of the plans to assess the performance of the optimizer.
