Experiences in Testing and Analysing Data Intensive Systems
Teemu Kanstrén · 2017
Testing software-intensive systems, for us, has traditionally focused on verifying and validating compliance and conformance to specification, as well as some general non-functional requirements such as performance of different components. In recent years, we have seen a strong move towards more data intensive systems. We have found that these types of systems require a different approach for testing and analysis, moving more towards exploring the system, its elements, behaviour and properties from a big data and analytics perspective. This paper summarizes our experiences in building and developing test and analytics environments for evaluating the performance, reliability, and security of such data-intensive systems.
