Abstract

A software verification system including a cloud service, a plurality of test nodes, a client manager, and an expediter is disclosed. The cloud service is a commercially available shared resource service having two or more physical machines, each of which is configured to host a plurality of virtual machines. Each test node is one virtual machine running a platform. The client manager manages a verification session between one of the clients and the verification system. The expediter recognizes the available platforms for use by the test nodes in a cloud service pool of servers and a local pool of servers. When a clients requests the verification session to use a specific platform, the expediter obtains a network address of an available test node running the specified platform and connects the requesting client to the available test node running the requested platform. If the requested platform is not available, a new virtual machine, located in the local pool of servers, having the requested platform is started and connected with the requesting client.
