Book Description :
For
a large, complex system, the amount of test cases in a regression test
suite can range from a few hundred to several thousands, which can take
hours or even days to execute. Regression testing also requires
considerable resources that are often not readily available. This
precludes their use in an interactive setting, further contributing to
an inefficient testing process. Cloud computing offers the use of
virtualized hardware, effectively unlimited storage, and software
services that can help reduce the execution time of large test suites in
a cost-effective manner. The research presented by Tilley and Parveen
leverages the resources provided by cloud computing infrastructure to
facilitate the concurrent execution of test cases. They introduce a
decision framework called SMART-T to support migration of software
testing to the cloud, a distributed environment called HadoopUnit for
the concurrent execution of test cases in the cloud, and a series of
case studies illustrating the use of the framework and the environment.
Experimental results indicate a significant reduction in test execution
time is possible when compared with a typical sequential environment.
Software testing in the cloud is a subject of high interest for advanced
practitioners and academic researchers alike. For advanced
practitioners, the issue of cloud computing and its impact on the field
of software testing is becoming increasingly relevant. For academic
researchers, this is a subject that is replete with interesting
challenges; there are so many open problems that graduate students will
be busy for years to come. To further disseminate results in this
field, the authors created a community of interest called “Software
Testing in the Cloud” (www.STITC.org), and they encourage all readers to
get involved in this exciting new area.
