Intelligently managing automatic performance of distributed tests

Abstract

The disclosure herein describes intelligently managing distribution of tests to user devices. Test definition data of a target test is obtained by a processor of a testing platform. A set of user devices is identified for executing the target test from a plurality of available user devices. Identifying the set of user devices includes, for each user device, analyzing device configuration data and predicted usage context data using test requirements of the test definition data, identifying a likelihood that the user device will enter a required device state during a test interval of the target test, and determining an average likelihood data value for the set of user devices satisfies the test requirements. Test execution control signals are sent to each user device of the set of user devices and test results associated with execution of the target test are received from the set of user devices.
