Here we review each case study and how it operates. Each case study can be run on a Linux host and, there is also a video with each one.

The URL for the public GitHub repository holding the gDS code generator and case study code is:

The above can be browsed to or cited in a “git clone” command.

Case Study 1 – The goal is to show how gDS works. The program performs some very basic operations with gDS.

Case Study 2 – The goal is to present a self-contained program with the “look and feel” of a real test platform.

Case Study 3 – This presents a real, external “system under test” and test a platform to match it. It focusses on tracking the configuration changes a complex system may make as it operates, loosing and gaining hosts, performing software upgrades and downgrades and handling system faults.
