  • Patent number: 11461223
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of efficient computing hardware and software component testing through test fragmentation and isolated execution within a discrete computing environment. In one embodiment, a method for efficient testing includes copying a design fileset into an operation filesystem and read-only protecting to define a workspace master. A test fileset may be fractionated into a test script. A discrete environment (e.g., a computing container and/or a virtual computer) is initiated and assigned computing resources. The workspace master is cloned. The test script is extracted from a test queue and executed within the workspace clone to generate a result data. Upon a test passage determination, a tear-down instruction is executed for the discrete environment. Upon a test failure determination, a substrate filesystem, the design fileset, and/or the test fileset may be designated for storage retention.
