Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described herein emulating, by one or more servers on behalf of a mobile computing device, a cloud-based virtual machine. The cloud-based virtual machine may include a virtualized hardware component that provides, as virtual hardware input for a software application executing on the cloud-based virtual machine, either “genuine” virtual hardware input or “simulated” virtual hardware input. Genuine virtual hardware input may be based on an actual hardware signal received from a hardware component of the mobile computing device that corresponds to the virtualized hardware component. Simulated virtual hardware input may be generated independently of any hardware signal associated with the hardware component. Output of the software application may be interactively streamed to the mobile computing device.

Abstract: A system and method for developing a multi-layered test suite for an operating platform including a framework layer and a system layer includes executing a first test suite against a version of the operating platform modified based on a software faults. A first counter is incremented if a first test suite executed against the modified version of the operating platform fails. A second test suite can be executed against the modified version of the operating platform and test cases may be added to the first test suite based on whether the second test suite passes or fails.

Abstract: A computer system exposes a hardware access library providing an interface for commanding an input/output device of the computer system. The computer system launches an agent process that can receives a request from a remote process to command the I/O device. The agent process invokes a first call to a middleware driver, the middleware driver invokes a second call to the client proxy, and the client proxy invokes a third call to a server stub, and the server stub accesses the input/output device responsive to receiving the third call via the hardware access library.
