Description
Summary:A software validation is a confirmation by examination and provisions of objective evidence that software specifications conform to user needs and intended uses, and that the particular requirements implemented through software can be consistently fulfilled. In practise, most of the software validation are done manually, which is not time efficient and hardly to achieve accurate results, especially involving multiple operating s ystem environments. Therefore, the idea of remote boot validation test using Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) protocol is evolved. The objective of this project is basically to design, built and test a Multiclient Validation System with Multiboot Image Support by using PXE protocol. The system would eventually allow client machines to perform validation tests automatically in the different operating system environment. This validation system gives a complete routine check on the compatibility and errors ofthe softwareto hardware devices. The scope of this project is planned to ensure the feasibility of the project to be carried out within thegiven timeframe. This project can be broken downtotwo major stages. The first stage will involve preliminary literature review, design and built a single client validation system to understand the operation of multiboot image support in PXE protocol. Comprehension of system development language like Visual C and JScript is vital since the system coding would be done entirely using those languages. It is envisaged that the major part of the system is designed, built and tested during the first half of the project duration (first semester). The second major stage is to implement the multiclient support feature for the validation system.
