  • Patent number: 9916226
    Abstract: A system of testing software is provided. The system comprises a first hardware system having hardware components to execute a first version of the software, and additionally comprises a second hardware system having hardware components to execute a second version of the software. Here, the first version of the software and the second version are different. In addition, the system includes a device configured to test the first hardware system and the second hardware system by providing first input data traffic to the first hardware system, providing second input data traffic to the second hardware system, and accessing performance values from the first hardware system and the second hardware system to evaluate a performance comparison between the first hardware system executing the first version of the software and the second hardware system executing the second version of the software.

  • Patent number: 8762959
    Abstract: A system of testing software is provided. The system comprises a first hardware system having hardware components to execute a first version of the software, and additionally comprises a second hardware system having hardware components to execute a second version of the software at approximately the same time as the hardware components of the first hardware system execute the first version of the software. Here, the hardware components of the first hardware system are essentially equal to the hardware components of the second hardware system. In addition, the system includes a simulator coupled to the first hardware system and the second hardware system through the same network. This simulator comprises an agent to input a substantially same amount and a substantially same type of input data into the first and second hardware systems for execution by the first and second versions, respectively.

  • Patent number: 7793269
    Abstract: A method and a system perform parallel software testing based on a normalized configuration. In some embodiments, a system includes a first hardware system having one or more hardware components to execute a first version of software. The system also includes a second hardware system having one or more hardware components to execute a second version of the software at approximately the same time as the one or more hardware components of the first hardware system are to execute the first version of the software. The one or more hardware components of the first hardware system are essentially equal to the one or more hardware components of the second hardware system.
