Abstract

Configuration information associated with software installed on a production system may be discovered. A script is automatically generated for capturing data traffic from and to the software installed on the production system using the configuration information. The script may be executed to capture data traffic of the software running on the production system. A migrated version of the software may be executed on a test system using requests extracted from the captured data traffic. The responses in the captured data traffic may be compared with responses from the migrated version of the software.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method for migration testing, comprising:
discovering, by a processor, configuration information associated with software installed on a production system;
automatically generating a script, by the processor, for capturing data traffic from and to the software installed on the production system based on the configuration information, the script comprising one or more commands and one or more parameters with which to invoke the one or more commands, the one or more…
