Technical and business solutions designed for today's complex enterprise networks require in-depth testing and validation before release. Real-life scenarios must be simulated during the test cycle - the larger the application scale, the more complex the test environment. This paper suggests a method for addressing many of the needs IT administrators encounter when creating complex test environments that comprise multiple networks, servers, and clients. The proposed approach uses hardware virtualization technology to help reduce the costs, resources, and setup time associated with enterprise software testing.
