ABSTRACT:
An apparatus having a proactive systemic scheduler connected with a network testing system. The scheduler receives a list of tests to be run on the network test system during a testing interval, as well as available test baseline information for the tests to be run. Using a predetermined algorithm, the list of the tests, and the available test baseline information, the scheduler automatically creates a plurality of testing schedules, such that a given test object cannot be simultaneously allocated to more than one test. Each of the plurality of schedules indicates test object allocation for the testing interval. Next, the scheduler selects one of the plurality of testing schedules based on reducing an overlap of test object allocation for the testing interval. The scheduler then communicates the selected testing schedule to be implemented by the network test system.
