Authenticator plugin interface for an enterprise virtualization portal is provided. An example method for evaluating a portal access request may comprise: receiving, by a virtualization management platform, a request initiated by a requestor for access to an enterprise virtualization portal associated with the virtualization management platform, the request comprising a login credential; transmitting, to a first authentication system, a first authentication query comprising an identifier of a first data type, and a first value of the first data type, wherein the first value is derived from the login credential; receiving a first response message comprising an identifier of a second data type, and an authentication response of the second data type; and responsive to evaluating the authentication response, granting the requestor access to the enterprise virtualization portal.

An example method for evaluating a portal access request may comprise: receiving, by a virtualization management platform, a request initiated by a requestor for access to an enterprise virtualization portal associated with the virtualization management platform, the request comprising a login credential; transmitting, to a first external authentication system, a first authentication query comprising an identifier of a first data type, and a first value of the first data type, wherein the first value is derived from the login credential; receiving a first response message comprising an identifier of a second data type, and an authentication response of the second data type; and responsive to evaluating the authentication response, granting the requestor access to the enterprise virtualization portal.

Implementations provide for a system testing framework for computer systems. A method of the disclosure includes building representations of resources of a product to be tested, the resources built from source code of the product and revisions to the source code, initializing, on a single computing device, virtual resources from the representations, installing software of the product on the initialized virtual resources, saving a clean state of the initialized virtual resources and of the installed product on the initialized virtual resources, causing a test scenario to be performed on the installed software of the product executing on the virtual resources, and reverting the virtual resources and the installed software of the product to the clean state.

System testing framework

In one embodiment, a mechanism for staged upgrades of a virtual machine system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes determining a minimum number of virtual desktop servers (VDSs) necessary to host one or more VMs associated with the VDSs, migrating in a live manner the one or more VMs to the minimum number of VDSs, upgrading the non-upgraded VDSs that are not hosting any VMs, repeating the migrating and upgrading until all of the VDSs are upgraded, load balancing the VMs among the upgraded VDSs, and upgrading each of the VMs upon hosting of the VM by an upgraded VDS.
