Abstract

Automating testing of a software product under system resource constraints. One or more SQAs are received and, for each SQA, a confidence level and an importance are received. For one or more system resources, an amount of each system resource available for testing is received. Each amount of system resource available for testing is apportioned to the SQAs, based on the confidence level and the importance of each SQA. Each test in a set of tests is prioritized, based on the number of SQAs associated with the test and any previous results of the test. For each SQA, a subset of the set of tests is selected, based on the test priorities, an expected consumption of system resources by each test, and the apportionment of the system resources to the SQA; the selected subset of tests is executed; and the test results for the selected subset of tests is updated.
