Program Testing Service

摘要

A service provider network includes host computers that have various computing devices connected thereto. In order to test the operation of a program, a developer creates a program and one or more test cases for use in testing the program. The developer also identifies devices in the service provider network for use in testing the program. Once this selection has been made, a test request is submitted to the service provider network. When the service provider network receives the test request, the program is installed on the devices upon which testing is to be performed. The supplied test case is then utilized to test various aspects of the operation of the program on the devices. Once the testing of the program has completed, the results of the testing may be transmitted to the developer. A similar process might be utilized to test a program on a variety of device emulators.
