Experimentation is an essential tool employed by the developers of software systems, especially distributed systems. In prior work we developed a model-driven framework for automating various experimentation tasks, such as workload generation, and demonstrated that it gives the engineer a cost-effective means to conduct large-scale experiments on distributed testbeds. We have enhanced the methods underlying the framework in four significant ways: (1) increasing the expressiveness of workloads by allowing for conditional and reactive behaviors; (2) supporting the repeatability of experiments through the creation of environment workloads that can control the operational context; (3) enabling the composability of application and environment workloads to obtain a broader class of experiments; and (4) extending the scope of experiment management to include control over multiple runs. We use the enhancements to conduct a series of interesting new experiments. Specifically, the enhancements allow us to manipulate a fixed-wired testbed so that it simulates a mobile-wireless environment, and to selectively and maliciously inject faults into a system.
