Abstract
A testing method can include the step of identifying a host within a grid environment, wherein the host is a software object. A ghost agent can be associated with the host. The actions of the host can be replicated within the ghost agent. At least one test routine can be loaded into the ghost agent. The test routine can be executed within the ghost agent. Moreover, the executing step can utilize data gathered from the replicated actions. Test output can be generated from the test routine.
