1. A testing method comprising the steps of:
- identifying a plurality of hosts located within a plurality of grids of a grid environment, wherein each of said hosts is a software object;
for each of said grids, associating a passive ghost agent in said grid with each one of said identified hosts operating in said grid, wherein said passive ghost agent is configured to replicate and record at least one action of said host within said grid environment, wherein said replicated actions of said passive agents are prevented from operationally executing in said grid environment;
moving at least one of said hosts from one of said grids to another of said grids within said grid environment;
in response to said moving of said host, moving said passive ghost agent from said one of said grids to said another grid;
generating test input from said recorded data; and
,testing within said grid environment using said test input.

Abstract
A testing method including the step of identifying multiple hosts located within multiple grids of a grid environment, wherein each host is a software object. A ghost agent can be associated with each identified host. Actions of the host can be replicated within each ghost agent. Data relating to the replicated actions can be recorded. Test input can be generated from the recorded data. Tests can be conducted within the grid environment using the test input.
