Abstract
In a method of service emulation, a plurality of messages communicated between a system under test and a target system for emulation are recorded in a computer-readable memory. Ones of the messages are clustered to define a plurality of message clusters, and respective cluster prototypes are generated for the message clusters. The respective cluster prototypes include a commonality among the ones of the messages of the corresponding message clusters. One of the message clusters is identified as corresponding to a request from the system under test based on a comparison of the request with the respective cluster prototypes, and a response to the request for transmission to the system under test is generated based on the one of the message clusters that was identified. Related computer systems and computer program products are also discussed.
