Project Overview

  • Simulate networked virtual appliances for

Whirlpool

  • To allow development of software without

physical appliance

  • Goal: Simulate any appliance, then multiple

instances of it

Functional Specifications

  • Simulates a virtual appliance for development

and QA purposes

  • Handle pre-existing specification files for

appliances

  • Interfaces with existing cloud applications
  • Uses actual appliance APIs

Design Specifications

  • Configurator reads appliance file and script

files, set number of appliances

  • Network interface of appliance is simulated
  • Logs are generated in appropriate format
  • Cloud calls in addition to scripted events can

change state of appliance

  • Appliance state is simulated in real time

Technical Specifications

  • Developer can run simulator on development

computer or server

  • Machine simulates events happening as it

would appear to the client programs in the cloud

  • Design makes use of Factory Method pattern

for virtual appliance creation

  • Design makes use of Observer pattern for

logging

System Components

  • Hardware Platforms
  • Whirlpool cloud
  • Developer/QA tester machines (unknown)
  • Server
  • Software Platforms / Technologies
  • Ubuntu Linux (server and desktop)
  • Java

Testing

  • Will be given SAIDs to test with
  • Developer access to a sandbox for testing with

cloud

  • Will test on both server and regular computer
  • Will test appliances of all types, be compatible

to simulate any appliance

  • Test with varying number of appliances

Risks

  • Lack of Java experience
  • Got book on Java, will read as needed
  • Online tutorials
  • No existing simulation package
  • Start design early
  • Large project scope
  • Break it into parts with the client; prioritize
  • Current APIs in .Net
  • Search with Google for best way to translate
