Automated software testing as a service
George Candea, Ștefan Bucur, Cristian Zamfir · 2010
This paper makes the case for TaaS--automated software testing as a cloud-based service. We present three kinds of TaaS: a "programmer's sidekick" enabling developers to thoroughly and promptly test their code with minimal upfront resource investment; a "home edition" on-demand testing service for consumers to verify the software they are about to install on their PC or mobile device; and a public "certification service," akin to Underwriters Labs, that independently assesses the reliability, safety, and security of software.
