Megatest

which can launch jobs on local and remote Linux hosts. Currently
megatest uses the network filesystem to call home to your master
sqlite3 database. Megatest has been used with the Intel Netbatch and
lsf (also known as openlava) batch systems and it should be
straightforward to use it with other similar systems.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>Megatest is designed as a distributed or decoupled system. This means
you can run the areas stand-alone with no additional
infrastructure. I.e. there are no databases, web servers or other
centralized resources needed. However as your needs grow you can
integrate multiple areas into a bigger system.</p></div>

Multi-area dashboard and xterm. A gui (the dashboard) is usually the
  best option for controlling and launching runs but all operations
  can also be done from the commandline. Note: The not yet released
  multi-area dashboard replaces the old dashboard for browsing and
  controlling runs but for managing a single area the old dashboard
  works very well.

Area/testsuite. This is your testsuite or automation definition and
  consists of the information in megatest.config, runconfigs.config
  and your testconfigs along with any custom scripting that can&#8217;t be
  done with the native Megatest features.

<p>
If your testsuite or build automation is too large to run on a
  single instance you can distribute your jobs into a compute server
  pool. The only current requirements are password-less ssh access and
  a network filesystem.
