ABSTRACT:
An improved method of testing in a distributed environment which is comprised of a Control Program residing in a Control Machine. The Control Machine also contains the central repository of information to control test execution in the Test Machines. The Control Program forwards instructions to a particular Test Program, residing in a Test Machine. The instructions are executed on that machine, and results are reported back to the Control Program. The Control Program verifies whether the results are correct. Depending on the results of the verification, the Control Program sends the test machine further instructions (to continue the test, stop the test, etc.). Logging the results of each test operation, keeping track of the tests performed, and coordinating the test cases are all performed on the Control Machine, by the Control Program.
