Abstract: A method for providing test and regression automation via a cloud native elastic tool is disclosed. The method includes obtaining test configurations, the test configurations corresponding to a test suite; parsing the test configurations to identify testing conditions for the test suite; automatically determining testing parameters for executing the test suite based on the identified testing conditions; executing the test suite based on the automatically determined testing parameters in a computing environment, the computing environment including a distributed computing environment; verifying results of the executing; and generating a report for the test suite, the report including information that corresponds to the automatically determined testing parameters, an execution status, and a verification result.

Abstract: A method for selective performing a validation in one or more technical operations by a cloud based validation framework is provided. The method includes identifying a job task to be performed, identifying technical operations associated with the job task; receiving user configurable input data for performing validation on at least one technical operation associated with the job task; and submitting the user configurable input data into the cloud network based validation framework. The method further includes determining, by the cloud network based validation framework, at least one technical operation specified for performing a validation function among the technical operations; generating a dictionary file for the at least one technical operation specified for performing the validation function; and performing the validation function specified by the dictionary file.

Abstract: A method for monitoring cloud-based applications that are integral to the performance of ongoing jobs and operations in order to provide status notifications and alerts when problems or breaches occur is provided. The method includes: receiving information that relates to a cluster of jobs that are using a cloud-based application and information that relates to a status of ongoing jobs; calculating a cost associated with the cluster and/or the ongoing jobs; analyzing the received information to diagnose problems and to determine whether a service level agreement is being breached; generating an alert when a problem is diagnosed and/or the service level agreement is determined as being breached; and displaying, on a dashboard user interface, information about the cluster and the ongoing jobs and any alerts that have been generated.
