Abstract
In one embodiment, a device obtains testing parameters used by a plurality of agents in a network to perform testing with respect to an online application. The device identifies overlapping parameters among the testing parameters and generates a consolidated set of testing parameters for the overlapping parameters. The device configures the plurality of agents such that a singular testing agent performs testing with respect to the online application using the consolidated set of testing parameters instead of multiple testing agents performing testing with respect to the online application using the overlapping parameters.
Claims20
A method, performed at a computing device comprising a processor and memory configured to store the method, which is executable by the processor, comprising:
- obtaining, by the computing device and for each of a plurality of agents in a network, testing parameters used by that agent to perform testing with respect to an online application;
- identifying, by the computing device, overlapping parameters among the testing parameters;
- generating, by the computing device, a consolidated set of testing parameters for the overlapping parameters;
- and
- providing, by the computing device and to a display, one or more indications that are generated based on test results from testing performed with respect to the online application using the consolidated set of testing parameters.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a network interface to communicate with a computer network;
- a processor coupled to the network interface and configured to execute one or more processes;
- and
- a memory configured to store a process that is executed by the processor, the process when executed configured to:
- obtain, for each of a plurality of agents in a network, testing parameters used by that agent to perform testing with respect to an online application;
- identify overlapping parameters among the testing parameters;
- generate a consolidated set of testing parameters for the overlapping parameters;
- and
- provide, to a display, one or more indications that are generated based on test results from testing performed with respect to the online application using the consolidated set of testing parameters.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program instructions that cause a device to execute a process comprising:
- obtaining, by the device and for each of a plurality of agents in a network, testing parameters used by that agent to perform testing with respect to an online application;
- identifying, by the device, overlapping parameters among the testing parameters;
- generating, by the device, a consolidated set of testing parameters for the overlapping parameters;
- and
- providing, by the device and to a display, one or more indications that are generated based on test results from testing performed with respect to the online application using the consolidated set of testing parameters.
