Abstract

A system for creating a system configuration data set includes an input operable to receive a set of system properties with attributes and values and a set of expressions representing a set of system test goals. The system further includes a processor operable to define a hierarchical tree structure with a plurality of nodes where each node represents one of the system properties and includes at least one of the attributes and the values and an output operable to output a set of system test data utilizing the hierarchical tree structure combined with the expressions. A method includes creating a hierarchical tree structure with a plurality of nodes where each node represents a system property. The method further includes receiving a set of expressions representing a set of system test goals and creating a set of system test data utilizing the hierarchical tree structure combined with the expressions.
