In-cycle system test adaptation

1. A method, with an information processing system, for performing a system test on a program, the method comprising:

creating a test plan associated with a system test, wherein the system test is for testing a program within an environment;

defining within the test plan at least one test trigger to be monitored for during the system test, wherein the at least one test trigger is a self-learning test trigger, wherein the self-learning test trigger creates new test triggers within the test plan based on an event associated with the self-learning test trigger occurring;

monitoring execution of the system test on a system under test for the at least one test trigger;

determining an occurrence of the at least one test trigger;

modifying, in response to determining the occurrence, the test plan to take into account the occurrence of the at least one test trigger; and

continuing execution of the system test based on the modified test plan.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

creating, in response to the determining the occurrence, at least one additional test trigger based on the at least one test trigger having occurred; and

modifying the test plan to include the at least one additional test trigger.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the creating the test plan is performed based upon user input.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the creating the at least on additional test trigger is performed by an automated testing tool.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

monitoring the system test for the at least one test trigger and the at least one additional test trigger.
