Verification of a computer program in respect to an unexpected response to an access request

摘要

Testing a computer program comprises identification of resource access requests by the computer program to a resource provided by an underlying host. The resource access requests may be intercepted and a determined response may be returned instead of the actual response of the underlying host. In some exemplary embodiments, the resource may a clock of the underlying host and the response may be the time of the clock. In some exemplary embodiments, the computer program may be tested to check for validity during execution on a cloud computing environment, in which access to resources may yield results that on a non-cloud computing environments are generally not expectable. The testing may be performed on a non-cloud computing environments and simulate scenarios applicable to cloud computing environments.
