Concurrent execution and logging of a component test in an enterprise computer system
First Claim
1. A method of concurrently testing two or more server components capable of operating on at least one server in a distributed computing environment;
- said method comprising;
establishing an initial connection to at least one of said two or more server components;
generating at least one listener for said two or more server components;
establishing a connection between said at least one listener and said at least one server component after said initial connection has been established;
generating an acceptor for each one of the connections which is established between said at least one listener and said two or more server components;
executing one or more test applications to test said two or more server components; and
returning results of said execution of said one or more test applications to two or more acceptors associated with said two or more server components when said executing of said one or more test applications is being performed.

Abstract
A method of concurrently performing a component test with returning test result data in a distributed environment is disclosed. In general, in order to assure compatibility of the various components in an enterprise computing system, a service test is created as part of a compatibility test suite and passed to a test application server having a test application program. The test application program makes an initial connection to the component being tested that, in response, creates a connection to a logging listener. The logging listener spawns an acceptor corresponding to the component being tested. Once spawned, the component returns test data to its corresponding acceptor concurrently with the execution of the test.
