Sorry for being vague. The product we want to test has components that span many platforms both physical and virtual and so we are searching for a framework that we can use to manage testing across those platforms.

When you get to something that complex, the chances of finding something perfect off-the-shelf drops asymptotically to zero.

I can't imagine we're the only ones who are having this issue so I figure it was worth asking. Thank you for your feedback!

The problem is "this issue" in the general case is very different from your specific mix of tools and environments.

<p>So you are looking for a software which is resource agnostic</p>

<ul>
<li>provision any resource type </li>
<li>configure any resource type </li>
<li>execute on any resource</li>
</ul>

<p>I am biased but you can look at some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_job_scheduler_software" rel="nofollow noreferrer">job schedulers</a>. We are currently using ProActive from Activeeon which should answer your needs but other may have similar behaviors.</p>

<p>I'm searching for a framework for running system tests. The requirement are:</p>

<ul>
<li>Able to manage provisioning to multiple physical machine</li>
<li>Able to manage provisioning to multiple virtual environments (AWS, Azure, etc)</li>
<li>Able to run tests on a given machine be it physical or virtual.</li>
<li>Not bound to a single language or platform. We wish to at least test against Linux, Windows at least.</li>
</ul>

<p>Is there anything that meets those requirements?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-06-06)

I'm searching for a framework for running system tests. The requirement are:

* Able to manage provisioning to multiple physical machine
* Able to manage provisioning to multiple virtual environments (AWS, Azure, etc)
* Able to run tests on a given machine be it physical or virtual.
* Not bound to a single language or platform. We wish to at least test against Linux, Windows at least.

Is there anything that meets those requirements?

Thank you!

So you are looking for a software which is resource agnostic

* provision any resource type
* configure any resource type
* execute on any resource

I am biased but you can look at some [job schedulers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_job_scheduler_software). We are currently using ProActive from Activeeon which should answer your needs but other may have similar behaviors.
