The reliability of cloud computing platforms is crucial. Due to its numerous levels and components, testing requires a significant amount of time. The existing research aimed at shortening test time has room for improvement. They ignored a situation that not all test steps are necessary, which is our direction for improvement. We design virtual machine feature transformation method to enable it reused across test cases, thus avioding the time spent in frequent creation and deletion virtual machine. In this scenario, we abstract the problem into an Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem and use greedy algorithms to minimize the total testing time. According to simulation results, our method has achieved good results.
