ABSTRACT:
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to simulating storage devices. In aspects, a test automation engine instructs a simulator to simulate a storage device having certain characteristics such as a storage area network. The test automation engine then tests an application against the simulated storage device. Tests may include storage management requests and storage access requests. A provider may translate a request to one or more operations suitable to perform the request on the underlying simulated device. Shadow copies and the results of other storage management-related operations may be shared across computers via aspects of a simulation framework described herein.
