    摘要: Automated testing of versioned information handling system applications is performed by automatically compiling currently available versions at regular time intervals throughout a development cycle and then automatically testing each compiled version on test information handling systems to detect errors associated with each compiled version of the application. For instance, production operating systems used to configure manufactured information handling systems are automatically tested at regular intervals during development so that versions of a complete operating system and application environment are properly integrated. Testing of the complete operating system and application environment of a production operating system is accomplished by interrupting power to test information handling systems and loading the production operating system with a PXE agent. Periodic compilation and testing of versions provides simplified identification and tracking of development errors.

    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for the uniform installation of one or more of a plurality of heterogeneous operating systems (operating systems) on a predetermined information handling system. A common preinstallation environment (CPE) is implemented, comprising a host preinstallation environment (HPE) and one or more native preinstallation environments (NPEs). If an NPE is not required for installation, an HPE comprising a common, bootable kernel generates a bootable operating system image that is installed on the target system. Otherwise, the HPE creates a deployment partition, where it implements the NPE and generates a metafile describing the hardware drivers supported by the NPE. The HPE then inventories the hardware components comprising the target system and compares the results to the metafile. If all required drivers are accessible, the target system boots to the NPE, which begins native installation of the chosen operating system. Otherwise, the HPE injects the missing drivers into the operating system image generated by the NPE and the resulting operating system image is then installed on the target system. If the HPE cannot inject drivers into the NPE, then a stage handler is implemented to relinquish installation control to the NPE which completes a native installation.
