A method, apparatus and computer-usable medium for improved load testing of subsystems comprising a larger system by intelligently and stochastically distracting virtual users from healthy subsystems such that they collaboratively converge on a subsystem exhibiting operating health problems. Virtual users are progressively targeted at a degraded subsystem to force it to sustain its respective share of a test workload, thereby exacerbating its behavior to facilitate problem determination and resolution. Virtual users that have failed or terminated in an unhealthy subsystem are replaced by selectively and intelligently redistributing virtual users from healthy systems. As virtual users are redistributed to the degraded subsystem and fail or terminate, additional performance and behavior data is generated as the subsystem degrades to an unusable or non-operational state. By accelerating time-to-failure, test cycle intervals are reduced and the number of identified performance defects are maximized.
