I can p...Hi Jason,<BR/><BR/> Thanks much for your comments.<BR/><BR/> I can provide some details. It is<BR/>a work in progress and I keep adding features.<BR/><BR/> In my testing I do the following:<BR/><BR/> 1) System testing -- A system<BR/> could consist of 50+ boxes<BR/> This requires a tool to push<BR/> updates to 50+ boxes across<BR/> firewalls and jumpboxes and <BR/> running installation and configuration, monitoring disk usage, verifying FW rules, security, collecting and versioning OS info, 3rd party packages info, verifying HW like RAM, # of CPUs match the requirements, keeping inventory, etc<BR/><BR/> 2) Performance Testing --<BR/> This requires starting scripts like top, vmstat, iostat, ps, sar etc. Run load then have the tool automatically graph the results. Also create a table for latency, drops, retries, etc.<BR/><BR/> 3) Business Logic Testing --<BR/> This requires sending different inputs and then comparing<BR/>outputs to expected results and creating a pass/fail/run report<BR/><BR/>The tool is geared for the above activities on UNIX based boxes and uses ksh and expect scripts around ssh to navigate the system, collect logs and move it to the web server and display them<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I don't have a formal document yet but I am working towards it. If you any specific questions or suggestions<BR/>please let me know.<BR/><BR/>thanks,<BR/>SwamSwamy Karnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071764985057866228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6936893084907872816.post-50137969606535595762008-05-23T17:27:00.000-07:002008-05-23T17:27:00.000-07:00Are you able at this time to provide any details o...Are you able at this time to provide any details on this tool you are trying to open source?<BR/><BR/>Out of a need I see often and my desire to learn a particular web app / rapid app development framework, I am developing an app in Python to organize tests of all levels and from any vendor and integrate them together.<BR/><BR/>The idea is to facilitate well designed tests and scripts to be reusable and modular and be pieced together. It handles input and output and the variables that will be in the scripts.<BR/><BR/>Since I do not want to really reinvent the wheel and want to integrate with other components then I would love to see your work.<BR/><BR/>JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
