Abstract
Testing methods and systems are provided for testing a resource manager of an application management system. The testing systems include a load orchestrator configured to obtain an artificial metric that is determined based on a utilization model (e.g., CPU usage, memory allocation, or disk usage, number of webserver sessions). The load orchestrator transmits the artificial metric to applications in a cluster of computing nodes. The applications transmit the artificial metric to the resource manager. In response, the resource manager generates control output for managing applications in the cluster based on the artificial metric (e.g., scaling, load balancing, application placement, failover of applications, or defragmenting data). The utilization model may include executable code for generating artificial metric values. The model may be received as a result of an API call. The load orchestrator may be instantiated in an orchestration framework or in each node of the cluster.
