Abstract
Automated testing of versioned information handling system applications is performed by automatically compiling currently available versions at regular time intervals throughout a development cycle and then automatically testing each compiled version on test information handling systems to detect errors associated with each compiled version of the application. For instance, production operating systems used to configure manufactured information handling systems are automatically tested at regular intervals during development so that versions of a complete operating system and application environment are properly integrated. Testing of the complete operating system and application environment of a production operating system is accomplished by interrupting power to test information handling systems and loading the production operating system with a PXE agent. Periodic compilation and testing of versions provides simplified identification and tracking of development errors.
