System for providing services and virtual programming interface

Abstract

The invention relates to a system for providing customer requested services relating to - for instance - security, monitoring and / or data acquisition in relation to a data processing device and / or a data network (Target 1 - Target k) of a customer, wherein one or more of a plurality of tests are selected to be executed in relation to said data processing device and / or a data network (Target 1 - Target k), said selection (201; 202; 203; 210) of one or more tests are excuted from a server (TSMADARS -server) which is connectable to said data processing devices and / or data network (Target 1 - Target k) via a communication network (140), and wherein data representing results of said selection of tests may be accessed by the customer via a communication network and / or transmitted to said customer. Hereby the customer or user will have the advantage that it will not be necessary to install / download special testing software on the data processing equipment in question. Thus, problems in relation to the execution of such testing software as well as problems concerning the acquisition of the test results and the analysis of such results may be avoided. Further, as it often will be advantageously to utilize two or more different types or makes of testing software applications / systems, the need to invest in a multitude of testing software applications will be avoided by the invention. Similarly, expenses and labour involved in updating such testing software and / or purchasing new software as the already purchased versions become outdated or obsolete will be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for providing a service requested by a client as claimed in claim 1, a system for preparing a test program for automatic execution as claimed in claim 16, a monitoring data network as claimed in claim 19 A method for data packet services, and a virtual application programming editor as claimed in claim 28. Background technique [0002] In order to be able to test, control and / or monitor data systems, such as the integrity, security and / or quality of data processing systems, data processing devices and / or data networks, various tests have been developed and applied, such as testing software applications . [0003] The owner or provider of the data system will have to purchase a number of different means of testing, such as software applications, to - for example - be able to achieve some level of security, including detection or file management, against hacking, Take measures against network piracy, unauthoriz...
