Abstract
A cluster of devices can be identified where results from executing a test by any cluster devices can be considered as being from the same device. Thus, instead of waiting for a single device to produce comparable results, multiple devices from the same cluster can simultaneously perform the test and obtain the needed set of test results more quickly. The technology can identify clusters of devices that are all similar to a primary cluster device. A device pair can be considered similar when (1) a mean each of a set of test results from each device are within a first threshold of each other, (2) a measurement of the consistency of each test result set are within a second threshold of each other, and (3) a measurement of the consistency of a combination of the test results sets is between the consistency measurements of the individual test result sets.
