“…However, many problems related to the testing remain unsolved. Riungu-Kalliosaari et al (2016) reported that although cloud-based testing extends both manual and automated testing offerings (in-house vs. cloudbased resources), it does not offer a generic test automation environment that covers these needs.…”

“…Therefore, while using some of the cloud-based testing services, it is important to ensure that data centers are located in the EU and testing from other geographical regions cannot be used. There are also concerns regarding the lack of interoperability between services from different providers since they offer the services through their own interfaces (Dai et al, 2014;Inçki et al, 2012;Riungu-Kalliosaari et al, 2016). This is also closely connected to the last stage of cloud-based testing: summary of the testing results.…”

“…Security and privacy are one of the most important requirements for effective cloud computing and have often been cited as a risk by previous studies (Riungu-Kalliosaari et al, 2016). Web applications are constantly exposed to various threats and attacks, such as crosssite scripting, SQL injection, insecure configurations, or remote command execution vulnerabilities (Shklar & Rosen, 2009;Tung et al, 2014).…”

“…This research issues were then categorized according to application, management, legal and financial issues. Later, Riungu-Kalliosaari et al (2016) conducted another set of interviews with professionals to address the adoption, utilization and effects of cloud-based testing in different organizational contexts. They identified four categories, with which they were able to explain the adoption and use of cloud-based testing in practice.…”

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.

We present ElasTest, an open-source generic and extensible platform supporting end-to-end testing of large complex cloud systems, including web, mobile, network and WebRTC applications. ElasTest is developed following a fully transparent and open agile process around which a community of developers, contributors and users is collected. We demonstrate ElasTest in action by testing the FullTeaching application: the video is available from http://elastest.io/videos/icse2018-demo .

Performance problems in a cloud service are difficult to diagnose because they may be caused by various system components. This study proposes an automatic cloud service testing and bottleneck detection system that is applicable to different types of services. With the proposed test module, the user can customize test scenarios to automatically test and collect the corresponding metrics of the target service. Afterward, the proposed bottleneck detection algorithm analyzes the collected metrics and determines whether a bottleneck is presented in the target system. The bottleneck detection module also provides a scaling recommendation for the service provider to facilitate the service system reconfiguration. The experimental results reveal that the proposed system could detect a potential bottleneck in a service system accurately. In accordance with the scaling recommendation, the performance of the target cloud service can be improved efficiently after reconfiguration. Therefore, usage of the proposed system can ensure a high quality of service, and the service level objective could be fulfilled.
