SCALABLE, DISTRIBUTED, FAULT-TOLERANT TEST FRAMEWORK

摘要

A testing framework has been developed to address these issues that takes common functionality normally imported by the testing scripts on the client device and instead splits the functionality into standalone, fault tolerant, scalable services. Accordingly, the scripts can utilize the functionality through APIs and therefore test drivers executing a test or building a test environment or other testing processes may access the services through an API. Therefore, each testing client and test driver does not need to separately import the functionality and run the functionality on the memory of the client device separately. Rather, multiple tests can use these functionalities, allowing the testing services to be scaled between tests.

1. A method for executing a test of a storage filer, the method comprising:
receiving a request for a first functionality for performing a test of the storage filer at a server from a first client device; sending to the first client device, in response to the request, an API for the first functionality from the server; receiving requests from the first client device from the API to perform test functions using the first functionality at the server; and executing the requests to perform the test functions at the server by sending data comprising instructions for performing at least a portion of the test to the storage filer.
