+
+ This is the worker component.
+
+ It is designed to pull (testing) jobs from the beanstalk queue, executing them serially.
+
+ The jobs will be serialized JSON objects which have the following keys in all cases:
+
+ * test_type => ping | ssh | mysql | http | https | ...
+ * test_target => example.com | 192.168.0.1 | etc
+
+ Tests may implement additional keys, they will be used or ignored as appropriate.
+
+ There is no concept of an execution time, nor is there any threading to worry about.
