Abstract
A computer optimizes the prospective generation of data used for analysis of a software problem. The computer generates data in accordance with data generation parameters and a software problem is analyzed with reference to the data so generated. The problem analysis produces a report that details specifics of the software problem, the data that was available for analysis, a flag to indicate success or failure of the analysis to identify a root cause, and information about whether the data supplied was insufficient, sufficient, or superfluous with respect to identifying a root cause of the software problem. The method then uses the analysis report to modify the data generation parameters, thereby iteratively optimizing the data that are generated for analysis of subsequent software problems.
