Systems, methods, and devices for incremental feature development and workload capture in database systems are disclosed. The method includes determining a workload based on one or more client queries to be rerun for testing the feature release. The method further includes repeatedly executing a test run of the workload to identify whether there is a performance difference in the test run. The method further includes re-execute, in response to identifying the performance difference, the test run using resources with a different concurrency to identify whether the performance difference still exists. The method further includes flagging the performance difference as a false positive in response to identifying that the performance difference no longer exists when the test run is re-executed using the resources with different concurrency.
