Z/OS WORKLOAD MAPPER FOR POTENTIAL PROBLEM AREAS USING MODULES AND DEFECT DATA

摘要

Embodiments are directed to methods for improving the efficiency at which problem areas are identified and prioritized for an existing large, multi-module software system. In some embodiments, a workload mapper generates workload maps that identify the intersection between defect risk scores accumulated for various modules and a log of the modules that are accesses by a given workload. A graphical user interface (GUI) provides the ability to sort, search, compare and display the workload maps against various sort, search and/or compare criteria.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method of identifying potential problem areas of a system comprising a plurality of workloads comprising a plurality of modules, the method comprising:
executing at least one of the plurality of workloads; capturing a log of execution modules that are accessed during said executing; developing, by a processor, a risk score database comprising risk scores for at least some of the plurality of modules; and generating, by said processor, workload maps comprising intersections between said log of execution modules and said risk scores for at least some of the plurality of modules; wherein the potential problem areas comprise said intersections.
