Patent ID: 8892947

Claim:
A system for an automation framework for a multi-node environment, the system comprising: a parser executed on a first host computer to parse a test case suite to identify multiple script instructions to be subsequently executed to test an application; a first execution engine executed on the first host computer to determine whether to locally execute a first script instruction of the multiple script instructions, and further configured to execute the first script instruction in response to a determination to locally execute the first script instruction; a first communication component executed on the first host computer to communicate an execution request to a second communication component executed on a second host computer in response to a determination to not locally execute the first script instruction, wherein the second communication component instructs a second execution engine executed on the second host computer to execute the first script instruction in response to receiving the execution request; a first logger executed on the first host computer to log a first result of executing the first script instruction on the first host computer; and a second logger executed on the second host computer to log a second result of executing the first script instruction on the second host computer, wherein the first logger is further configured to output at least one of the first result and the second result via an output device.
