Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a customer computer system configured to receive a test from a vendor computer system and execute the test on the customer computer system to test and certify a virtual appliance on the customer computer system, wherein the customer computer system provides test failure data to the vendor computer system in response to the test failing and the customer computer system provides baselining of the virtual appliance in response to the test passing.
A computer readable storage medium storing instructions for controlling a customer computer system to perform a method comprising:
- monitoring the customer computer system to detect changes in the customer computer system;
- providing a report on the changes in the customer computer system to a vendor computer system, wherein a test is provided in response to the report;
- receiving the test at the customer computer system from the vendor computer system;
- and
- executing the test on the customer computer system to test a virtual appliance on the customer computer system.
A method of testing comprising:
- building tests for testing a virtual appliance;
- transferring at least one of the tests from a vendor computer system to a customer computer system for testing the virtual appliance on the customer computer system;
- receiving test failure data from the customer computer system at the vendor computer system;
- receiving customer computer system configuration data at the vendor computer system;
- recreating the customer computer system on the vendor computer system;
- and
- testing the virtual appliance via the recreated customer computer system on the vendor computer system.
