System for distributed software quality improvement

A system for continuous integration of source code revisions, the system comprising:

• at least one processor operatively connected to a memory, the processor when executing is configured to:
• register a test suite for distributed execution, wherein the test suite defines source code associated with an application and at least one test to be executed and includes identification of a code repository;
• automatically analyze the source code and the at least one test in the test suite generate, automatically, configuration requirements required to execute the test suite responsive to the analysis of the source code and the at least one test including execution dependencies necessary for the at least one test and at least an associated portion of the source code needed for the at least one test, an execution environment required for executing the at least one test and at least the associated portion of the source code,
• identify coarse operations related to performing builds, testing, and validation of the test suite, the coarse operations being operations that cannot be performed in parallel;
• provision compute resources needed for execution of the coarse operations;
• partition each of the coarse operations into groups of execution instances and balance the execution of each of the groups of execution instances across available compute resources in order to allow for the maximization of parallel execution of the groups of instances, wherein at least some of the groups of instances are selected based upon their programmatic dependencies;
• determining a coarse schedule for execution of the plurality of execution instances, the coarse schedule accounting for a user-defined deadlines and costs;
• fine-tuning the coarse schedule to produce a fine-tuned schedule to account for already-running resources;
• executing the at least one test via the execution instances and according to the fine-tuned schedule and receive results from the plurality of execution instances;
• wherein the at least one processor is further configured to distribute test case execution to already instantiated environments matching the determined execution dependencies, the execution environment, and the at least a portion of the source code required to execute the test.
