Inter-process communication automated testing framework

A system, comprising:

• at least one computing device having one or more processors implementing one or more services, wherein the one or more services:
• cause the at least one computing device to execute an automated testing framework, a broker, and a sample application, where the automated testing framework and the sample application are isolated by a process boundary enforced by an operating system executed by the at least one computing device such that the automated testing framework lacks an interface to communicate directly with the sample application, and the sample application communicates with the automated testing framework via the broker;
• obtain a test operation for testing a portion of executable code of the sample application;
• cause the sample application to execute the test operation, wherein the sample application is isolated from the broker, wherein the broker utilizes a storage device to provide a result of the test operation, generated by the sample application, to the automated testing framework;
• and
• cause the broker to store the result of the test operation in the storage device and provide the result of the test operation to the automated testing framework obtained from the sample application.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions that, as a result of being executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:

• receive a test script including a test operation to test a library call of a sample application isolated by a process boundary, enforced by an operating system executed by the computer system, from a test harness responsible for executing the test script such that the test harness lacks an interface to communicate directly to the sample application;
• execute the test script by at least causing the sample application to execute the library call, wherein the sample application is isolated from a broker, where the broker utilizes a storage device to provide a result of the test script, to the test harness;
• obtain and store in the storage device, by the broker, the result of the test script;
• and
• provide the result of the test script to the test harness.
