Abstract
An automation controller for next generation testing system includes a database including a plurality of scripts and modules, a business layer component, and an automation component. The automation component includes an automation agent and an automation worker. The business layer component is operable to determine a next script from the plurality of scripts and modules and send the next script to the automation component in response to a get next script request sent by the automation component. The automation agent is operable to send the get next script request to the business layer, receive the next script from the business layer, and send the next script to the automation worker for execution. The automation worker is operable to execute the next script or section thereof, obtain a result, send status updates, send proof of life notifications and the result of execution to the automation agent.
