Testing Tool for Common Information Model Providers Description

This tool provides a common interface for testing the functionality of different types of CIM providers based on the CIM specification. The goal of a CIM provider is to return or set information about a given managed object. A CIM server receives CIM operation requests from a CIM client, coordinates the processing of requests and responses among the providers, and sends CIM operation responses back to the CIM client. A CIM provider is responsible for the actual processing of CIM operations on managed resources. The CIM provider translates CIM-formatted requests into resource-specific operations, and it translates resource-specific responses into CIM-formatted responses. The CIM provider provides the mapping between the CIM interface and the resource-specific interface and contains the implementation for a set of CIM operations for a defined set of managed resources. This tool can manage functionality testing, authorization testing, globalization testing, performance testing, and stress/concurrency testing. Its real value comes from its ability to systematically and fully test implementation(s) of CIM providers in order to expose and eliminate bugs or other problems early. Identifying problems early improves the overall quality of testing. This tool automatically generates a report that help users further analyze the test results. Users are also able to evaluate performance collected from benchmark data in order to possibly identify potential bottlenecks. The following CIM provider functions are included: · instance provider · association provider · method provider · indication provider · consumer provider. For these different types of CIM providers, the tool can cover functionality, authorization, globalization, performance, and stress and concurrency testing. Consequently, using this tool, manufacturers and users can fully and effectively test and manage common CIM provider functions in a standardized and intuitive way.
