1. A method comprising:
- receiving an electronically transmitted virtual desktop infrastructure template with a first computer system;
utilizing the virtual desktop infrastructure template as a management layer to provision the first computer system and transform the first computer into an enterprise software application (ESA) testing platform computer system in accordance with the virtual desktop infrastructure template interacting with virtualization software executing on the first computer, wherein the ESA testing platform computer system hosts an enterprise software application;
receiving a request from an end user using a second computer to access an ESA hosted by the ESA testing platform computer system that is remote from the second computer used by the end user;
receiving data with the ESA testing platform computer system from the second computer to test the ESA, wherein the remote ESA testing platform computer system is provisioned to emulate an actual operating environment for which the ESA is being tested; and
testing the ESA in the ESA testing platform computer system.

Abstract
A system and method for remote testing of enterprise software applications (ESA) allows one or more testers to remotely access an ESA and remotely test the ESA. In at least one embodiment, the ESA resides in a testing platform that includes one more computers that are provisioned for testing. “Provisioning” a computer system (such as one or more servers) refers to preparing, configuring, and equipping the computer system to provide services to one or more users. In at least one embodiment, the computer system is provisioned to create an ESA operational environment in accordance with a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) template interacting with virtualization software.
