1. A method, comprising: identifying, by a processor, at least a first benchmark test procedure to evaluate at least a first and a second target platform for use with an application, the at least first benchmark test procedure including at least a first unit test; receiving, by a communication device, test result data from tests performed on the at least first and second target platform using the at least first benchmark test procedure; and performing, by the processor, a matching analysis to determine which of the at least first and second target platform is a best fit for the application; wherein the identifying, by the processor, at least a first benchmark test procedure further includes generating an application resource usage profile associated with the application; and wherein the application resource usage profile includes a plurality of canonical forms, each canonical form associated with a relevance weighting.
