in reply to Pros/cons of testing on remote systems?
Well what are you testing for?
The correct testing framework will depend on what the behaviour of the remote system is supposed to be. For instance:
- If the remote host is a Web server, my ability to telnet to it is irrelevant. The host's ability to respond to a request on port 80 is, however, most relevant.
- If the remote host is running a service (say, LDAP) then presumably I would want to test that particular funcationality by either testing the actual function itself (preferrable) or checking to see that it is at least running (acceptable).
A little more detail would help a great deal.
Also, applications like NetSaint may well already do a great deal of what you want to test.
