Abstract

A device receives test parameters associated with testing an application that utilizes source data, and causes source containers, for the source data, to be temporarily created in a cloud computing environment, based on the test parameters. The device provides the source data to the source containers in the cloud computing environment, and causes other containers, for the application, to be temporarily created in the cloud computing environment, based on the test parameters. The device creates a file for testing the application with the source containers and the other containers, based on the test parameters, and causes the application to be executed with the source containers and the other containers, based on the file. The device receives results associated with executing the application with the source containers and the other containers.

Claims (81)

1. A device, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, to:

receive test parameters associated with testing an application that utilizes source data;

cause one or more source containers, for the source data, to be temporarily created in a cloud computing environment, based on the test parameters;

provide the source data to the one or more source containers in the cloud computing environment;

cause one or more other containers, for the application, to be temporarily created in the cloud computing environment, based on the test parameters;

create a file for testing the application with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers, based on the test parameters;

cause the application to be executed with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers, based on the file;

receive results associated with executing the application with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers;

modify, if at least one of a resource overutilization is identified from the results or an unexpected quantity of time to execute the application is identified from the results, the application to create a modified application to correct at least one of the resource overutilization or the unexpected quantity of time to execute the application; and

cause the modified application to be executed with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further to:

determine whether the results associated with executing the application are valid based on a comparison with expected results; and

perform one or more actions based on determining whether the results associated with executing the application are valid.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further to:

determine whether the results associated with executing the application are valid based on a comparison with expected results; and

provide information indicating the results associated with executing the application and information indicating whether the results are valid.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further to:

cause the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers to be removed from the cloud computing environment after the results associated with executing the application are received.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further to:

determine that the results associated with executing the application are valid based on a comparison with expected results; and

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further to:

determine that the results associated with executing the application are not valid based on a comparison with expected results;

modify the application, based on determining that the results associated with executing the application are not valid, to generate the modified application;

cause the modified application to be executed with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers, based on the file; and

receive results associated with executing the modified application with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the application includes a micro-service application.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:

cause one or more source containers, for source data, to be temporarily created in a cloud computing environment, based on test parameters associated with testing an application that utilizes the source data;

provide the source data to the one or more source containers in the cloud computing environment;

cause one or more other containers, for the application, to be temporarily created in the cloud computing environment, based on the test parameters;

create a file for testing the application with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers, based on the test parameters;

cause the application to be executed with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers, based on the file, to generate results associated with executing the application;

perform one or more actions based on the results associated with executing the application;

cause the modified application to be executed with the one or more source containers and the one or more other containers.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprise:
