Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for facilitating coordination between a fabric controller of a cloud-computing network and a service application running in the cloud-computing network are provided. Initially, an update domain (UD) that includes role instance(s) of the service application is selected, where the service application represents a stateful application is targeted for receiving a tenant job executed thereon. The process of coordination involves preparing the UD for execution of the tenant job, disabling the role instance(s) of the UD to an offline condition, allowing the tenant job to execute, and restoring the role instance(s) to an online condition upon completing execution of the tenant job. Preparing the UD includes notifying a management role established within the service application of the fabric controller's intent to execute the tenant job and receiving a management-role response communicating a presence of replications of internal state(s) of the role instance(s) affected by the tenant job.

Increasing availability of stateful applications

An automated and flexible architecture is provided that enables a plurality of component tests to be executed in various testing orders while imposing a test framework to mitigate adverse effects or results on previously developed tests. In one aspect, a computerized test system is provided. The system includes a test engine to execute a plurality of component tests. One or more application programming interfaces (API) are provided to selectively determine at a subset of the tests to execute, an execution order of the tests, or a fault response for the tests, if desired. The API determines a phase execution for the tests, where the phase execution can include a set up phase, an execution phase, a validation phase, a publishing phase, and a clean up phase, for example.

Configurable system and methods for writing and executing test components

An automated data generation system and methods are provided to facilitate generation of test data sets for computerized platforms while mitigating the need to store massive quantities of potentially invalid test data. In one aspect, a computerized test system is provided. A rules component is provided to specify one or more data domains for a test data set. A data generator employs the rules component to generate the test data set, where the test data set is then employed to test one or more computerized components.
