Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to implementing a virtual test platform (VTP) and running virtual test applications (VTAs) from an unsecured location. Using a phone home service, the VTP establishes a secure tunnel connection with a test controller. The VTP receives configuration information for a VTA from the test controller. If the VTA is not stored on the VTP, the VTP retrieves the VTA from a repository specified by the test controller. The configuration information from the test controller includes information needed for the VTP to set up a second secure tunnel. The VTP establishes the second secure tunnel and launches the VTA. The VTP relays information sent through the second tunnel to the VTA, and also relays messages from the VTA back to the test controller.
