  • Test framework for testing an application
    Patent number: 7823023
    Abstract: A device, method and/or computer-readable medium for testing an application within a test framework includes a framework controller associated with the test framework installed on a master device and a test driver associated with the test framework installed on one or more client devices. The master device is connected to the one or more client devices and a virtual machine (VM) module is installed on each of the one or more client devices. VMs can be created on the client devices and the application is installed on at least one of the VMs. The application is executed on the VMs according to a test scenario file. The framework controller collects data to generate an output result.
