The reply from @IAmMilinPatel is a good begin, nevertheless it wants some enhancements to be actually totally distributed, be capable of lock a number of assets and be versatile sufficient.
A number of assets refers to checks requiring a couple of assets the place useful resource is usually a bodily factor or a function of the system underneath take a look at, some examples might be Android AND Android Model > 12 AND Pixel 7 cellphone, Chrome Browser AND Linux Pink Hat or Database Was Just lately Up to date AND Software program Model N Put in AND Person of of kind A.
An extension may be having a lockable useful resource of a sure kind. To fulfil “I desire a person that may add recordsdata to the system” you’ll be able to lock one current person, but additionally assign one from an inventory or create one on the fly after which lock it.
Why is that vital? Effectivity. You don’t need take a look at to attend lengthy for a useful resource to be randomly launched, and even worst take a look at may be deadlocked ready for a number of resources- two checks ready for assets A & B, take a look at 1 holds A and take a look at 2 holds B- they are going to by no means run.
The concept, proven right here from King’s tech weblog and applied in considerably related means in my workforce utilizing The Actor Mannequin, is:
-
A job queue supervisor holds and dispatches checks in line with accessible useful resource and an algorithm about allocating them. The queue supervisor ought to have an API so as to add checks/jobs and report the outcomes synchronously/asynchronously.
-
A useful resource supervisor talk with the assets’ system supervisor and may mark them as accessible, in use or “damaged”.
-
A tool supervisor. This may be a pc linked by way of USB to telephones (the cellphone is the SUT), a pc operating VMs (the VM is the SUT) or the system itself operating a small supervisor software program (the standard use case are Apple PCs that do not have good VM answer). The system supervisor shops and follows the system’s state and configurations and communicates them to the useful resource supervisor upon request, that is wanted so the useful resource supervisor do not should know the system’s internals.
-
Some useful resource might need a particular type of supervisor, an excellent instance are take a look at customers. The use supervisor can create them on the fly and take away them when wanted, it could possibly additionally clear up or load information into the person’s information.
-
A logical-test runner. That is one other particular useful resource to be allotted, in some circumstances the logic of the take a look at must run on an agent aside from the SUT and set off motion on the system. For instance if you take a look at a cellular system or take a look at utilizing a number of units, consider an finish to finish video name. Once more, the runners may be of various varieties and have varied options.
-
Lastly you have to arrange a communication strategies and protocols between the elements of the system
To reply the unique query, I’m not conscious of any such system prepared “out of the field” and it’s actually not straightforward to develop and preserve.
