AUTOMATED VIRTUAL MACHINE PROVISIONING BASED ON DEFECT STATE

摘要

A method for automatically provisioning a virtual machine based on the state of a defect work-item workflow for reproducing a defect associated with testing a software product is provided. The method may include identifying a defect in the software product. The method may also include identifying steps to reproduce the defect. The method may include producing an automation script to reproduce the defect. The method may include identifying a plurality of relevant environmental details associated with a state of the defect. The method may also include requesting a virtual machine provisioning system to provision a new virtual machine comprising the plurality of relevant environmental details and the produced automation script. Also, the method may include building the new virtual machine. The method may further include informing the defect tracking system that the new virtual machine is ready and including a plurality of updated machine connection details and a defect description.

1. A method for automatically provisioning a virtual machine for replicating or reproducing a defect workflow stage associated with testing a software product, the method comprising:
identifying a defect in the software product; identifying steps to reproduce the identified defect; producing an automation script to reproduce the identified defect based on the identified steps; identifying a plurality of relevant environmental details associated with a state of the identified defect; requesting, by a defect tracking system, a virtual machine provisioning system to provision a new virtual machine comprising the identified plurality of relevant environmental details along with an embedded script comprising the produced automation script; building, by the virtual machine provisioning system, the requested new virtual machine; and informing, by the virtual machine provisioning system, the defect tracking system that the new virtual machine is ready and including a plurality of updated machine connection details associated with the new virtual machine and a defect description.
