Scriptrock is a web-based platform designed for creating, managing, and executing system configuration tests across various operating systems. It enables collaboration among system administrators and developers to quickly produce automated test suites without coding, resulting in detailed and audit-ready documentation. The platform streamlines the testing process, allowing for rapid iteration and tracking of implementation progress through test results.
ScriptRock Overview
- 1. Introduction ScriptRock is a simple, platform for creating, storing, and running system configuration tests. Reports are clear, comprehensive, and quickly produced for each test run. ScriptRock’s web based interface helps people easily create test documents that are not only detailed, but can be run to test thousands of configuration items on any number of machines across the enterprise. Detailed reports are automatically produced in minutes, rather than hours. ScriptRock tests are securely stored online in plain English allowing for easy access, collaboration, and management. Overview ScriptRock supports System Administrators, Developers, and Application Support Specialists working in a collaborative fashion, allowing them to easily build comprehensive documents that test and verify systems. ScriptRock’s “executable documentation” runs on a variety of systems including Windows, Linux, OSX, AIX, Unix, and more. Benefits Quickly and easily produce “executable documentation” ScriptRock lets users “walk in” with a set of configuration requirements and “walk away” with an automated test suite in minutes and without writing a single line of code. Make the best use of Subject Matter Experts ScriptRock’s web-based user interface makes it easy for Subject Matter Experts to collaborate and create detailed tests. No programming required. And no extra documentation to write. “Audit Ready” systems ScriptRock allows you to create a detailed document of your existing operating environment and can verify that baseline. Cross-Platform ScriptRock uses the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to provide a stable cross-platform system ScriptRock can use either a system-wide JRE or an included JRE for a light- touch “no installation needed” testing experience. © 2012, ScriptRock Inc.

- 2. Hundreds of test iterations ScriptRock lets people quickly iterate through hundreds of tests rather than manually working through long “run documents”. Measure implementation progress using test results ScriptRock’s rapid results allow implementations to track progress as measured by test results, rather than abstract metrics. Leave behind an asset valuable for years to come ScriptRock’s “executable documents” not only detail system configurations but confirm those configurations in test results. As systems change over time, updated tests and results show configuration change over time. Regular scheduled use of ScriptRock allows system configurations to be continuously validated for years to come. Use Cases ScriptRock is useful anywhere configuration testing is needed. Common use cases include: ● Vendor Acceptance Tests for External Builds ● Operations Quality Assurance ● Data Center Migrations ● Bring Your Own Device ● Audit and Compliance ● Environmental Build Efficiency ● Disaster Recovery Testing Conclusion ScriptRock’s ease of use and collaborative interface makes configuration testing approachable. Requirements are collected and connected directly to tests with no need for interim documents. Tests are defined using a wide variety of templates, that abstract operating system and programming details. ScriptRock tests can be defined, run, and confirmed instantly. Tests may be quickly run on any number of machines, as many times as needed. © 2012, ScriptRock Inc. Page 2 of 2
