Abstract
A method of a test controller controlling a test platform to run test applications is provided, wherein an authenticated connection exists between the test platform and a phone home service through which secure tunnel information for the test controller has been obtained. The method including the test controller (i) generating an instruction to load and prepare a test application, the instruction including a URL for a repository that stores the test application as a component executable on the test platform, (ii) transmitting the generated instruction to the test platform over an initiated first secure tunnel between the test platform and the test controller, and (iii) controlling the test platform to perform a requested test using the test application using an established second secure tunnel between (a) the test platform or the test application and (b) the test controller.
