Testing software and/or computing hardware design through test fragmentation into one or more discrete computing environments

A method for efficient testing with a test fileset, comprising:

• initiating a new instance of an operation filesystem to operate from;
• copying at least one of a software application, a script, a computer hardware design, and a circuit design to be tested into the operation filesystem to define a workspace data;
• defining a workspace master;
• initiating a discrete environment that is at least one of a computing container and a virtual computer;
• assigning the discrete environment a processing power allocation and a memory allocation from a computing resources pool;
• cloning the workspace master to generate a workspace clone;
• extracting a test script from the test fileset;
• executing the test script within the workspace clone;
• and
• returning to the computing resources pool at least one of the processing power allocation and the memory allocation.

A system for testing computing hardware designs and software, the system comprising:

• a test orchestration server, comprising:
• a processor of the test orchestration server,
• a memory of the test orchestration server,
• a test processing agent comprising computer readable instructions that when executed on the processor of the test orchestration server:
• issue an assembly instruction to assemble a workspace master comprising at least one of a software application, a script, a computer hardware design, and a circuit design to be tested,
• a test fractionation routine comprising computer readable instructions that when executed on the processor of the test orchestration server:
• extract a test script from a test fileset comprising one or more test scripts,
• an environment manager comprising computer readable instructions that when executed on the processor of the test orchestration server:
• issue an environment initiation instruction to initiate a discrete environment that is at least one of a computing container and a virtual computer,
• a cloning engine comprising computer readable instructions that when executed on the processor of the test orchestration server issues a cloning instruction to:
• clone the workspace master to generate a workspace clone,
• a test isolation engine comprising computer readable instructions that when executed on the processor of the test orchestration server:
• issue an environment execution instruction to execute the test script within the discrete environment, and
• a network.
