ABSTRACT:
A mechanism to acquire and deploy (“bootstrap”) software files, particularly testcase files, across multiple hosts and platforms is provided. A software package is created and a predetermined bootstrap executable file is built into the package. A process on each host on which the software files are to be deployed extracts the bootstrap file and executes it. Each bootstrap executable builds corresponding software files into the software package. The process then extracts the files corresponding to its particular process from the software package.
