Clouding computing and virtualization technology have brought immense effects to software organizations including software testing region. At the same time the method and related technology will be changed a lot. Some concepts, structures and characters are described in this paper. Software testing should be regarded as a service. Four typical patterns of cloud testing and the relations among them are showed in the paper. Combined with the virtualization technology, the frame of TaaS (Testing as a Service) is defined too. In the meantime, cloud testing and traditional software testing is compared with each other. At last, the main research contents about software testing in virtualization environment are summarized.
