IMPLICIT COORDINATION OF DEPLOYMENT AND REGRESSION TESTING ACROSS DATA CENTERS AND SYSTEM CLUSTERS

摘要

The disclosed methods and systems for coordinating deployment and regression testing across data centers and system clusters in multiple service clouds include accessing test suites via a versioning platform that maintains a metadata notation of an applicable-version to which a version of a test suite applies. They include receiving a request-to-test to run a selected test suite against a selected system; making a machine-to-machine query about the selected system and receiving back a response that specifies a version-to-be-tested; automatically selecting from the versioning platform a test suite version with the applicable-version that supports the version-to-be-tested consistent with the metadata notation of the applicable-version of the selected test suite; and reporting results of running the selected test suite. The request-to-test need not include the version of the selected test to run, and can specify use of authentication credentials and multiple selected test suites to run against one or more systems.
