Systems and methods for infrastructure validation

A system for testing an infrastructure comprising one or more computers connected by a network, each of the one or more computers having an agent, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, wherein the processor and the memory perform a method comprising:
• receiving, at a controller, a test request to perform at least one of a plurality of predetermined tests that validate an operation of the infrastructure needed to execute a business application, the at least one predetermined test including one or more parameters associated with performing the at least one predetermined test and one or more expected results from performing the at least one predetermined test;
• configuring the predetermined tests, such that one of the predetermined tests depends on an outcome of another one of the predetermined tests;
• identifying, by the controller, one or more computers for executing the at least one predetermined test based on an indication of whether the agent at the one or more computers can execute the at least one predetermined test;
• sending, by the controller, the at least one predetermined test to the identified one or more computers, wherein the agent at the one or more identified computers executes the at least one predetermined test;
• receiving, at the controller, one or more results of the at least one predetermined test executed by the agent;
• and
• comparing, at the controller, the one or more results of the at least one predetermined test with the one or more expected results.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, test an infrastructure comprising one or more computers connected by a network, each of the one or more computers having an agent, the test including a method comprising:

• receiving, at a controller, a test request to perform at least one of a plurality of predetermined tests that validate an operation of the infrastructure needed to execute a business application, the at least one predetermined test including one or more parameters associated with performing the at least one predetermined test and one or more expected results from performing the at least one predetermined test;
• configuring the predetermined tests, such that one of the predetermined tests depends on an outcome of another one of the predetermined tests;
• identifying, by the controller, one or more computers for performing the at least one predetermined test based on an indication of whether the agent at the one or more computers can execute the at least one predetermined test;
• sending, by the controller, the at least one predetermined test to the one or more identified computers, wherein the agent at the one or more identified computers executes the at least one predetermined test;
• receiving, at the controller, one or more results of the at least one predetermined test executed by the agent;
• and
• comparing, at the controller, the one or more results of the at least one predetermined test with the one or more expected results.

A system for testing an infrastructure, the infrastructure comprising one or more computers connected by a network, each of the one or more computers having an agent, the system comprising:

• means for receiving, at a controller, a test request to perform at least one of a plurality of predetermined tests that validate an operation of the infrastructure needed to execute a business application, the at least one predetermined test including one or more parameters associated with performing the at least one predetermined test and one or more expected results from performing the at least one predetermined test;
• means for configuring predetermined tests, such that one of the predetermined tests depends on an outcome of another one of the predetermined tests;
• means for identifying one or more computers for executing the at least one predetermined test based on an indication of whether the agent at the one or more computers can execute the at least one predetermined test;
• means for sending, by the controller, the at least one predetermined test to the identified one or more computers, wherein the agent at the identified one or more computers executes the at least one predetermined test;
• means for receiving, at the controller, one or more results of the at least one predetermined test executed by the agent;
• and
• means for comparing the one or more results of the at least one predetermined test with the one or more expected results.

A user interface for testing an infrastructure, the infrastructure comprising one or more computers connected by a network, each of the one or more computers having an agent, the user interface comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to perform a method comprising:
• selecting one of a plurality of test requests that perform a predetermined test from among a plurality of predetermined tests to validate an operation of the infrastructure needed to execute a business application;
• configuring the predetermined tests, such that one of the predetermined tests depends on an outcome of another one of the predetermined tests;
• sending, to a controller, the selected test request to perform the predetermined test among the plurality of predetermined tests, the predetermined test including one or more parameters associated with performing the predetermined test and one or more expected results from performing the predetermined test;
• receiving from the controller, one or more test results of the predetermined test performed at a computer among the one or more computers having the predetermined test;
• and
• displaying a result of comparing the one or more test results with the one or more expected results.
