  • Patent number: 10282178
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes identifying one or more instrumentation code segments and identifying one or more client experience indications. The one or more client experience indications are associated with a client computer. The computer-implemented method further includes determining a data gathering scenario based on the one or more client experience indications. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10157120
    Abstract: A configuration manager reads a testbed description file for a particular testbed environment under test to identify multiple roles each specified by a separate role identifier. The configuration manager instantiates, for each separate role identifier defined in the test script, a separate role identifier entity referring to a separate host description file for a separate host assigned to the separate role identifier in the testbed description file. The configuration manager manages an abstraction between each separate role identifier referred to by each separate operation in the test script and each separate host currently hosting each separate role identifier for the testbed environment using the separate host description file instantiated for the separate role identifier entity for the separate host.

  • Patent number: 9176852
    Abstract: In managing testing on a testbed environment a test automator executes an operation specified in a test script to be performed on a testbed environment, wherein the operation refers to a particular role identifier identifying one of a plurality of roles hosted within the testbed environment by at least one host in the testbed environment, wherein the operation does not refer to any of the at least one host. The test automator performs the operation on a particular host of the at least one host of the testbed environment using at least one value from a host description file for calling the particular host assigned to the particular role identifier in a configuration file.
