Dynamic attributes for distributed test framework
First Claim
1. A method for customizing attributes of a distributed processing system, comprising the operations of:
- loading at least one core attribute defining a first characteristic of a processing resource;
reading a dynamic list file having information concerning a first dynamic attribute, wherein the first dynamic attribute defines a second characteristic of the processing resource;
loading the first dynamic attribute utilizing the information in the dynamic list file; and
registering the core attribute and the first dynamic attribute to a lookup service to advertise the availability of the processing resource to execute software processing jobs having a set of requirements.

Abstract
An invention is provided for customizing attributes of a distributed processing system. An embodiment includes a lookup service capable of advertising attributes of a processing resource, and a processing resource executing an agent process, which is in communication with the lookup service. The processing resource is capable of loading a set of core attributes defining characteristics of the processing resource. Further included are a plurality of dynamic attribute classes and a dynamic attribute list file that provides information concerning the dynamic attribute classes. In use, the agent process reads the dynamic attribute list to obtain the information concerning the dynamic attribute classes, and then loads the plurality of dynamic attribute classes utilizing the information in the dynamic attribute list concerning the dynamic attribute classes.
