Abstract: A computer-implemented method related to dynamic resource provisioning, includes: receiving, at a computer, a request to facilitate a testing environment, where the request specifies a number and type of resources to be included in the testing environment. A database which lists available resources in systems and/or devices that are in communication with the computer is inspected and the available resources are compared to the number and type of resources specified in the request to be included in the testing environment. In response to determining that a valid combination of the available resources meets the number and type of resources specified in the request to be included in the testing environment, the database is updated to indicate that each of the resources in the valid combination are in use. Moreover, the request is satisfied by returning information about the resources in the valid combination.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes outputting an interface, receiving a first input and parsing contents of the first input. It is determined whether the first input includes the instances of information: a type of modification that is to be performed, a program that is to be incorporated in the performing of the modification, and a target system on which the modification is to be performed. In response to a determination that the first input does not include one or more of the instances of information, a request is output. In response to a determination that the first input includes the instances of information, a process is performed. The process includes correlating the instances of information to a script file and performing the modification in accordance with the instances of information of the first input. The process further includes collecting status information and outputting the status information.
