Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method which allows applications that are otherwise not addressable by a network to be accessed and tested via the network. For test purposes, an Application Under Test (AUT) is bundled with a several components that allow a Test Server (TS) to access the AUT as if the AUT were directly addressable via the network. In one embodiment, the AUT is bundled with a Client Proxy (CP). The client proxy is also limited in that it also is not addressable by the test server. However, the client proxy can make outgoing socket connections (HTTP, in this implementation). The client proxy queries a Server Proxy (SP) for queued requests, sends the appropriate commands to the AUT, and then responds to the SP with the results. The combination of the SP and the CP, working in tandem, abstract the network connection to the device and provide a virtual connection to the AUT.
