Summary:Systems and methods are disclosed for testing applications or code. In one exemplary embodiment, there is provided a method for testing an application on one or more different hosts on a processor using a task graph including a parent task and one or more child tasks. The task graph can also contain a single, parent task without child tasks. The method may include, for example, providing the parent task to initiate the task graph at the processor, the parent task including a task number unique to the task graph; providing the one or more child tasks, the child tasks each including a task number unique to the task graph and a command to be performed by the one or more child tasks; and enabling, at the processor, the parent task to initiate execution of the application at the processor. Moreover, the method may include processing user defined input values to define each task.
