Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for facilitating coordination between a fabric controller of a cloud-computing network and a service application running in the cloud-computing network are provided. Initially, an update domain (UD) that includes role instance(s) of the service application is selected, where the service application represents a stateful application is targeted for receiving a tenant job executed thereon. The process of coordination involves preparing the UD for execution of the tenant job, disabling the role instance(s) of the UD to an offline condition, allowing the tenant job to execute, and restoring the role instance(s) to an online condition upon completing execution of the tenant job.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage media for performing a structured search using metadata in a search index. A search index is augmented with meta words that are traditionally not found in the documents indexed. Documents to be indexed in the search index are analyzed to determine if a meta word that has a logical relationship to the document should be associated and then stored in the index along with metadata. In some embodiments the metadata is attribute metadata and document identification metadata. Query operators are then provided to aid in performing a structured search of the search index. In some embodiments s structured search request is received and parsed into nodes which is then utilized to search a search index. In some embodiments, the results of the search index are merged, duplicates removed, and sorted when presented.

Abstract: An automated and flexible architecture is provided that enables a plurality of component tests to be executed in various testing orders while imposing a test framework to mitigate adverse effects or results on previously developed tests. In one aspect, a computerized test system is provided. The system includes a test engine to execute a plurality of component tests. One or more application programming interfaces (API) are provided to selectively determine at a subset of the tests to execute, an execution order of the tests, or a fault response for the tests, if desired. The API determines a phase execution for the tests, where the phase execution can include a set up phase, an execution phase, a validation phase, a publishing phase, and a clean up phase, for example.

Abstract: An automated data generation system and methods are provided to facilitate generation of test data sets for computerized platforms while mitigating the need to store massive quantities of potentially invalid test data. In one aspect, a computerized test system is provided. A rules component is provided to specify one or more data domains for a test data set. A data generator employs the rules component to generate the test data set, where the test data set is then employed to test one or more computerized components.

Abstract: A system for testing software may include a driver, dispatcher and one or more executors. One or group of test cases may be provided to the testing system. Each test case includes one or more actions and may be in the form of an XML document. Each action may be dependent on or independent of previous or following actions. In preparation for executing the test case one or more times, system initialization is performed. One or more iterations of the test case may be executed and housekeeping tasks may be performed in preparation for executing the next test case. Executing an iteration of a test case includes initialization in preparation for executing the iteration, performing the actions that test the software and validating the results (including comparing the actual result with an expected result and making entries to a log) and performing local cleanup (i.e., cleanup relevant to the iteration).
