Abstract

A device may receive a vehicle topology and may generate predefined processes for components of the vehicle topology. The device may provide, to a user device, data identifying the predefined processes, and may receive, from the user device, user-defined processes and a selection of particular predefined processes for execution of a test. The device may identify containers to be created for the user-defined processes and the particular predefined processes, and may identify virtual networks to interconnect the containers. The device may identify an order of execution for the user-defined processes and the particular predefined processes, and may generate a file that defines the containers, the virtual networks, and the order of execution. The device may cause the file to be implemented in a virtualized environment, and may orchestrate the test. The device may generate results based on orchestration of the test, and may perform actions based on the results.
