ABSTRACT:
A new method is provided for using distributed computing for computing process testing. The method includes distributing a feature testing tool, computing feature builds, and data sets to client computing systems. The feature testing tool is run on the client computing systems during times when the client computing system is not otherwise in active use. The feature testing tool prompts the computing feature build to process the data sets, and collects results from the processing of the data set, including any erroneous results. The results from processing the data sets on the client computing systems are provided to a managing computing system. The managing computing system may try to reproduce the erroneous results on other client computing systems with alternate hardware-software configurations, to send erroneous results to an investigation queue to isolate their cause, and to report useful information on the erroneous results to developers working on the computing feature.
