  • Methods and apparatus for mobile computing device security in testing facilities
    Patent number: 9864655
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for providing testing as a service. A loading computing device can receive a request to restore a testing computing device to a known software configuration. The loading computing device, after receiving the request to restore the testing computing device, can restore the testing computing device by at least: obtaining a software image storing the known software configuration, where the software image includes security-context data having security contexts associated with the plurality of software components, and where a particular security context can have an identity, a role, and a domain or type; storing at least part of the obtained software image onto the testing computing device, and after storing at least part of the obtained software image onto the testing computing device, setting security contexts for the obtained software image stored on the testing computing device using the security-context data.
