“…In these cases, the provider offers a so called virtual lab, which covers only the selected or all the cloud-based testing lifecycle stages. The customer does not need to have in-depth knowledge required for parameters setup or architecture configuration (Akerele et al, 2013;Bai et al, 2011;Gao et al, 2013;Harikrishna & Amuthan, 2016;Malhotra & Jain, 2013;Riungu et al, 2010).…”

“…Thus, the following classification is mostly focused on web application based tests that help ensure that all the expected outcomes are met. For this purpose, the following papers were reviewed: Gao et al (2011), Harikrishna andAmuthan (2016), Malhotra and Jain (2013), Nachiyappan and Justus (2015), and Narayanan (2010).…”

The purpose of the article is to give a survey of research fields related to test and manage applications from the cloud, i.e. cloud-based testing, so that it can facilitate security requirements associated with the testing. This article has two main aims. The first one is the survey of published results attained by the synergy of these research fields -cloud-based testing, testing strategies and types of tests, and related architectures, which is followed by the classification of testing tools based on their testing strategies. The second part is focused on security testing of Fire and Rescue Service portals in the Czech Republic and identification of vulnerabilities in these portals. The results suggested that it is more appropriate to manage only one unified portal than a lot of portals on the regional level, also due to the economies of scale. Finally, the most suitable tool for cloud-based security testing was recommended based on these results and a typical cloud-based testing methodology was described.

“…This helps to meet fast time‐to‐market constraint of the mobile applications. As a result, testing‐as‐a‐service (TaaS) is presented as a service model that automatically conducts all testing activities including automatic test cases generation, test execution, and test report generation . The application under test (AUT) is submitted to the TaaS platform.…”

Recently, testing mobile applications is gaining much attention due to the widespread of smartphones and the tremendous number of mobile applications development. It is essential to test mobile applications before being released for the public use. Graphical user interface (GUI) testing is a type of mobile applications testing conducted to ensure the proper functionality of the GUI components. Typically, GUI testing requires a lot of effort and time whether manual or automatic. Cloud computing is an emerging technology that can be used in the software engineering field to overcome the defects of the traditional testing approaches by using cloud computing resources. As a result, testing‐as‐a‐service is introduced as a service model that conducts all testing activities in a fully automated manner. In this paper, a system for mobile applications GUI testing based on testing‐as‐a‐service architecture is proposed. The proposed system performs all testing activities including automatic test case generation and simultaneous test execution on multiple virtual nodes for testing Android‐based applications. The proposed system reduces testing time and meets fast time‐to market constraint of mobile applications. Moreover, the proposed system architecture addresses many issues such as maximizing resource utilization, continuous monitoring to ensure system reliability, and applying fault‐tolerance approach to handle occurrence of any failure.
