Performance Study of Cloud Testing Platform Based on OpenStack
Ding Xiao-pa · Computer engineering & Software · 2015
Cloud testing is a new method based on cloud computing to test software. In traditional methods, the original hardware resource may be inadequate when a large amount of concurrent test requests occur. In such case, the hardware resource should be redistributed to establish the needed test environment. However, the cloud testing can achieve distributing the hardware resource on-demand and need not to re-establish the test environment. Consequently, the test cost can be reduced. This paper presents how to combine Open Stack and SAT in order to build a cloud testing platform. The experiment validates that the established platform could both meet the demand on test time and reduce the test cost when massive concurrent test requests occur.
