Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products are described herein for testing a system that is designed to optimize the execution of code within an application or other computer program based on profile data collected during the execution of such code. The embodiments described herein utilize what is referred to as a “profile data mutator” to mutate or modify the profile data between the point when it is collected and the point when it is used to apply an optimization. By mutating the profile data at this point, testing of a system for optimized code execution can be significantly more thorough. Furthermore, such profile data mutation leads to a more scalable and efficient testing technique for profile-guided systems for optimized code execution.
