Mulini: Code Generation tool for Automated Staging Application System

GT Number: 902531132 The increasing complexity of enterprise and distributed sys-tems demands automated design, testing, deployment, and monitoring of applications. Testing, or staging, in partic-ular poses unique challenges. The idea behind Elba is to create automated staging and testing of complex enterprise systems before deployment to production. Automating the staging process lowers the cost of testing applications. Feed-back from staging, especially when coupled with appropriate resource costs, can be used to ensure correct functionality and provisioning for the application. The key component of Elba is its code generator called Mulini, it extracts test parameters from production specifications and generate de-ployment artifacts and creates staging plans for the applica-tion. Depending on the feedback we get we can change the input parameters and regenerate the code and run the test
