  • Publication number: 20200379742
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for validating factory provisioning of computing devices with a virtual machine. A package file is unpacked, the package file containing: at least one application to be installed on the virtual machine, and a configuration file containing at least one setting for an operating system installed on the virtual machine or the at least one application and at least one respective value for the at least one setting. Then at least one application is installed on the virtual machine. Installation of the application is confirmed. Then the operating system is configured based on the configuration file, and the configuration of the operating system is confirmed. The results are then rendered in a user interface to indicate whether installation of the applications and configuration of the operating system was successful.
