Abstract :
Setting up the software in the distributed environments has become an essential undertaking, and on the other hand, keep an eye on the reliability and the usability of software during its operational state is a crucial part. For this purpose organizations hire a person whose responsibility is to ensure the malicious state of software which is hectic, time consuming and incurs cost. In this era, Agent paradigm is facilitating the software industry through their autonomous and parallel activation features. In this paper, we have proposed agent based framework for Testing and Verification of Softwares after Deployment over Network. This framework is an attempt towards software testing while it is in running state, which has not previously been done. The framework has been tested in the university environment on various test cases; results support the implementation of the solution.
