    This document discusses using virtualization and VMware in QA and testing environments. It describes how virtualization allows a single physical machine to run multiple virtual computers, each with their own CPU, RAM, and storage resources. This approach saves physical resources and makes it easier to manage multiple operating systems. Snapshots allow testing different OS versions and configurations quickly without reinstalling. The benefits include faster setup and teardown of environments, more stable tests, and lower maintenance requirements. A larger hard disk is needed initially but provides a return on investment through increased testing speed and efficiency.

    Virtualization and VMware

    Utilization in QA and Testing

    Once upon a time …
    Vista
    Win 2K3 sp

    I need a larger
    WinXP Unstable … desk
    sp High maintenance … ???
    Physical resources:
    (space, electric and
    network sockets)..
    Win 9x ???

    MAC

    Linux
    Inspiration …
     Use multiple CPU, RAM and large HD to run virtual
    computers each getting it’s own share of the
    resources.
    Linux
    Vista sp
    Win2K3 sp

    WinXP sp
    Win9x
    What else?
     Management – this way:
    When the VMware server has limited hard disk space

    Storage VMware Server

    Time consuming transfer


    Or …there is a better way
     Snapshots:
     OS 1 sp 1 and 2 and 3
     OS with pre-requisites
     OS without pre-requisites
     “Can you just setup and verify a bug in the version from 2
    years ago?”

    VMware Server

    Remote Connection (s)


    But to do this …
     A bigger hard disk is needed
     ROI: speed – setup/teardown, stability, low maintenance
