  • Publication number: 20160350205
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for reconciling data on a set of virtual machines, generating a virtual machine snapshot of the set of shadow virtual machines, identifying a set of virtual disks and containers of the set of virtual disks, wherein the set of virtual disks operates as storage for the set of shadow virtual machines, producing a set of storage snapshots of the containers of the set of virtual disks, identifying data that has changed within the set of storage snapshots, and reconciling the data back to when the virtual machine snapshot was generated. Using the reconciled data to test a computer application having a first instance, generate a cloned instance of the application, wherein the cloned instance sources storage shared with the first instance, interact with the cloned instance to cause a result without interacting with the first instance, and monitor the result.

  • Patent number: 9417895
    Abstract: A cloned instance of an application is executed in a computing environment. The cloned instance and a first instance of the application execute concurrently and access shared data. In some examples, testing of the cloned instance includes interacting with the cloned instance to cause a result without interacting with the first instance, and monitoring the result.
