Abstract

Testing a software system consists of a test case construction and of running and evaluating them, i.e. comparing expected results with obtained results. Because the set of test cases is usually very large, some methods of automation may be used to run them. Usually, test cases run on the same machine where the tested software system should run later. In our case, we run the test cases of a software system for a sequential computer on a cluster in parallel. The goal is to accelerate the process of running and evaluating tests. In this paper we describe the architecture of our test execution tool, experiments, and obtained results concerning performance and efficiency of test automation of sequential programs in a cluster environment.
