Embedding Test Components Into Operational Systems: A Guide to Enhance System Testing During Production

Overview

Large enterprise solutions have many components. Verifying the operability of each system component is challenging, but it is an extremely important task. One can use embedded test components, even in a production environment, that make the whole system testable during deployment. This paper explains how to efficiently plan for embedded test components in the architectural, implementation, and operational phases of a project. The reader also discovers how to embed these test components with functional components with minimal operational overhead.
