Abstract
A computer-implemented method and/or computer program product selectively assigns a task using a hybrid task assignment process. One or more processors direct a working hardware node in a network to crawl a particular application, thus causing the working hardware node to encounter a task in the particular application. The processor(s) selectively handle the task according to whether the task is reserved for dynamic assignment to an other hardware node in the network, such that in response to a determination that the task encountered is not reserved, the task is handled by the working hardware node that is crawling the particular application, and in response to a determination that the task encountered is reserved, the task encountered is sent to a central unit for dynamic assignment to the other hardware node in the network.
