Self-test framework for self-adaptive software architecture

As researchers and contributors of the IT enterprise move in the direction of a vision of computing structures that manage themselves, it's far imperative to research methods to dynamically validate these systems to keep away from the high cost of system failures. Although research continues to advance in lots of areas of self adaptive systems, there's a loss of development within the area of testing components of systems at runtime. Self-adaptive features in systems dynamically invoke changes to the structure and behavior of components which could already be operating in an unpredictable surroundings; similarly emphasizing the need for runtime testing. In this paper we propose a framework that dynamically validates modifications in self-adaptive systems. Our body-work extends the present day shape of self-adaptive systems to consist of self-testing as an implicit characteristic. We validate our framework by way of creating a prototype of an autonomic container that incorporates the capability to self-test.
