ABSTRACT:
A method for distributed automated software GUI testing includes maintaining a centralized queue, which stores test instances to be executed by distributed test execution computers (“test computers”). Each test computer includes a client platform and is connected to one or more server platforms, the client and server platforms collectively providing client-server combinations against which the tests may be executed. For each test computer: (1) a request for a test instance is received from a test computer in response to completion of a preceding test by the test computer; (2) in response, a test instance is retrieved from the queue and communicated to the test computer for execution using a testing component supported by the test computer; (3) the component performs automated software GUI testing and produces test results; and (5) in response to execution of the instance, a test result for the executed instance is received and stored.
