Topology independent network-based automation infrastructure

摘要

An automation process verifies that a test bed includes a set of devices specified by at least one script which are to be executed by the automation process on the test bed. The test bed is locked and the set of devices is allocated to the automation process. Performance data collection and logging for the set of devices is started and the at least one script is executed on the set of devices. After executing the at least one script, the set of devices is de-allocated and the test bed is unlocked. A notification is generated indicating that the at least one script has been executed.
