Abstract

This disclosure relates to computer test systems and, more particularly, to automatically configuring computer test systems. A method, computer program product, and system receives a list of one or more software patches installed on an in-field computer system, the list including a version of each of the one or more software patches. Source code, managed by a source code revision tool, corresponding to the version of each of the one or more software patches, is identified. A compiling and installation system compiles one or more newly compiled software patches from the source code managed by the source code revision tool for each of the software patches installed on the in-field computer system. The compiling and installation system automatically installs the one or more newly compiled software patches on a test computer system to replicate the in-field computer system.
