Abstract

A test system and method utilizing a single storage device through a network, which includes a server and at least a test object connected to a storage device that supports multi-system operations. The storage device provides many kinds of test environments and test tools for different test objects. The storage device includes a test program, a plurality of virtual test sections and test tools. When a correspondent virtual test section does not exist in the storage device, the associated test disk image is obtained from the server for establishing a new virtual test section in the storage device. Through the network operation, the test environment management is simplified and the test efficiency is improved.
