  • Implicit coordination of deployment and regression testing across data centers and system clusters
    Patent number: 10261893
    Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems for coordinating deployment and regression testing across data centers and system clusters in multiple service clouds include accessing test suites via a versioning platform that maintains a metadata notation of an applicable-version to which a version of a test suite applies. They include receiving a request-to-test to run a selected test suite against a selected system; making a machine-to-machine query about the selected system and receiving back a response that specifies a version-to-be-tested; automatically selecting from the versioning platform a test suite version with the applicable-version that supports the version-to-be-tested consistent with the metadata notation of the applicable-version of the selected test suite; and reporting results of running the selected test suite.
