ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided to determine execution errors in distributed computing environments. In an illustrative implementation, a computing environment comprises a test amplification engine and at least one instruction set to instruct the test amplification engine to process data representative of a request to perform a test for one or more execution errors in an distributed computing environment according to a selected execution error testing paradigm dependent on identifying critical sources of non-determinism for execution within the exemplary distributed computing environment. In an illustrative operation, a participating distributed computing environment operator (e.g., programmer) can cooperate with the test amplification engine to select an existing unit or integration test, instrument sources of non-determinism and to select one or more instrumentations for the unit or integration test for execution in the exemplary distributed computing environment to elicit the occurrence of one or more execution errors.
