In addition to language or script, one of the key features of VMWare that makes this application a perfect use of VMWare virtualization is in a persistent manner. In nonpersistent mode, disk operations are simply forgotten when the machine stops and the image returns to its original state. This is a great advantage in a test environment, where they always want to start in a known good.
Same gives another use for the farm, which is not yet enforced, is proof of updates. Very easy to have a surrounding that represents each edition of its software and updates automatically applied to them as part of regression testing.
This is a great article about using virtually as division of a software testing environment even better by her hands on nature. If you do software testing and have not started using virtualization, this article will help you understand why you should.
Example -
A test team to test an application that supports Microsoft applications (of course first they will get support from Windows OS). Equipment testing it in a machine that is running Windows XP Prof.
In the next building (after development) application has the Mac and Linux too.
1. They have enough hardware to install 3 OS (Windows, Mac, and Linux)
2. For Mac users who need an Apple computer for the homogeneous environment.
Now test lead test team suggests that the use of virtualization technology, which has just expanded RAM (4 GB) of the basic machine, installed 2 virtual machine alias VMM administrators (for Linux and Mac). Now Mac and Linux installed on the VMM respectively.
After the test team can test the application on 3 SO (Homogenious environment for heterogeneous hardware). No need to say about saving costs.
Do not let me know if I sound a bit confusing in any part of the explanation, or if your question needs more explanation.
