Abstract:
1. A program storage device including code accessed and executed by a computer to perform operations for testing test components in a heterogeneous network, the operations comprising: evaluating a plurality of status indicators from a plurality of types of determined test components in the network to test, wherein the status indicators indicate attributes of the test components; selecting a first test to be performed on the determined test components in the network based on the status indicators of the determined test components, wherein the attributes of the status indicators for the determined test components are used to select the first test that can be executed for the determined test components under test; distributing and executing the first test on the determined test components; and selecting a second test to be performed based on the status indicators of the determined test components and a result of the first test with respect to the determined test components, wherein the attributes of the status indicators for the determined test components are used to select the second test that can be executed for the determined test components under test.
