Abstract
A test environment as described herein allows for testing webpages prior to deployment to a website. More particularly, a virtual test environment allows a developer to virtually test webpages instantiated from representations of webpages stored in a repository. The webpage representations may be dynamically updated in the repository with changes to the webpages made in the virtual test environment to maintain updated webpage representations in the repository to allow webpages to be tested against updated webpages.
Claims17
A test system comprising:
- a repository including a set of representations of webpages associated with a website;
- a proxy;
- and
- a virtual test bench isolated from the website by the proxy, wherein the test system is configured to:
- instantiate a first webpage from a corresponding first representation of the set of representations of webpages in the virtual test bench, the first webpage having a link component referencing a second webpage, the second webpage having a corresponding second representation in the set of representations of webpages;
- instantiate the second webpage from the corresponding second representation in the virtual test bench, wherein the first and second webpages are hosted on a virtual machine;
- and
- update the first representation in the repository with a first change made to the first webpage in the virtual test bench.
(canceled)
A test system comprising:
- a repository including a library of templates having a first template and a second template, wherein the test system is configured to:
- instantiate a first webpage from the first template in a virtual test bench;
- instantiate a second webpage from the second template in the virtual test bench, wherein the first and second webpages are hosted by a virtual machine;
- change the first webpage with a first change based on a link to the second webpage;
- and
- update the first template with the first change.
(canceled)
A test system comprising a server hosting a virtual test bench isolated from a website, wherein the virtual test bench is configured to:
- instantiate a first webpage from a corresponding first template in a library of templates corresponding to the website, the first webpage including a link component referencing a second webpage, the second webpage having a corresponding second template in the library of templates;
- instantiate the second webpage from the corresponding second template, wherein the first and second webpages are hosted on a virtual machine;
- and
- update the first template in the library with a first change made to the first webpage.
