ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling a distribution of sizes of input/output (I/O) operations in testing a data processing system. A plurality of I/O operations of different sizes are issued in response to a set of distribution parameter values. Each distribution parameter value specifies a number of I/O operations to issue for one or more sizes of I/O operations. The I/O operations are verified for correctness after completion. While issuing the I/O operations, performance characteristics of the data processing system are measured. In response to the performance characteristics relative to target performance characteristics, the distribution parameter values are selectively adjusted.
