The eQATor system is a fully automated software testing environment build by Esmertec for testing its Jbed™ CLDC product line - one of the leading Java™ runtime-embedded platforms for mobile phones. On a daily basis, eQATor currently builds 50 variants of the Jbed™ CLDC product, executes over 50'000 different test cases, runs 7 benchmark suite on various platforms, and parses and stores all results for online web based reporting. The core of eQATor is a highly scalable job distribution engine build on the open source STAF framework. In this way, additional machines can be added anytime to the test farm if new platforms or additional test case ask for more computing power.
This talk gives a demonstration and presents the objectives of eQATor, its architecture, and the technologies used to build it.
