Mentee: Parth Yadav

Scope & goals:

After Software Deployment, DC/Cloud administrator would like to ensure the successful delivery of software & platform services as this gives them confidence that the infrastructure is ready to operate in production. The scope of this project was to develop an automated SDV(Software-Delivery-Validation) tool that validates the state of various software components across the cloud servers and checks health, configurations & settings of deployment. Further, generate a detailed report on the test results. Also, on the failure of any test-case collect extra information and logs so that end-user can look them later to debug further or pass this detailed report to Vendors. In summary, the initial goals of the SDV state validation tool were:

  • Validating state, health-checks & configuration of the Delivered Software stack(Installer)
  • Information gathering, collecting logs & report generation

Benefits: Operators & Vendors can debug faster for causes of bugs, deployment failures both in testing, production stage.
