Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for receiving test configuration information are disclosed. According to one exemplary method, the method occurs at a node configured to operate in a private network. The method includes registering node identification information with a registration server. The method also includes sending a keep-alive message to the registration server. The method further includes receiving, in response to the keep-alive message and via the registration server, test configuration information from a configuration system outside the private network.
Claims19
A method for receiving test configuration information using a registration server, the method comprising:
- at a node configured to execute a test in a private network and to operate in the private network:
- registering node identification information with a registration server,
- sending a keep-alive message to the registration server;
- and
- receiving, in response to the keep-alive message and via the registration server, test configuration information for configuring the test from a configuration system outside the private network, wherein the node is behind a firewall that blocks direct communications sent from the configuration system and wherein the test configuration information is sent to the node without opening a port for an inbound connection from the configuration system;
- wherein prior to the node receiving the test configuration information from the configuration system outside the private network, the configuration system is configured to request node identification information from the registration server;
- to generate, using the node identification information, the test configuration information;
- and to send the test configuration information to the registration server.
A system for receiving test configuration information, the system comprising:
- a node configured to execute a test in a private network and to operate in the private network, the node comprising:
- a test configuration module (TCM) configured to:
- register node identification information with a registration server,
- send a keep-alive message to the registration server;
- and
- receive, in response to the keep-alive message and via the registration server, test configuration information for configuring the test from a configuration system outside the private network, wherein the node is behind a firewall that blocks direct communications sent from the configuration system and wherein the test configuration information is sent to the node without opening a port for an inbound connection from the configuration system, wherein prior to the node receiving the test configuration information from the configuration system outside the private network, the configuration system is configured to request node identification information from the registration server;
- to generate, using the node identification information, the test configuration information;
- and to send the test configuration information to the registration server.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions embodied in the non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor of a computer perform steps comprising:
- at a node configured to execute a test in a private network and to operate in the private network:
- registering node identification information with a registration server,
- sending a keep-alive message to the registration server;
- and
- receiving, in response to the keep-alive message and via the registration server, test configuration information for configuring the test from a configuration system outside the private network, wherein the node is behind a firewall that blocks direct communications sent from the configuration system and wherein the test configuration information is sent to the node without opening a port for an inbound connection from the configuration system, wherein prior to the node receiving the test configuration information from the configuration system outside the private network, the configuration system is configured to request node identification information from the registration server;
- to generate, using the node identification information, the test configuration information;
- and to send the test configuration information to the registration server.
