Improved Data Security in Cloud Environment for Test Automation Framework and Access Control for Industry 4.0

Abstract

In analyzing project regressions, automation has emerged as a major agenda in managing changes in software which requires minimum manual intervention. For rapid testing environment, software development processes such as Agile, Scrum, and XP processes depend on continuous integration tools. There is no single tool to handle the project automation, and the main challenge is dependency on multiple tools. The proposed automation tool should support configuration, execution, and debugging facility. Integrating the project automation works such as software configuration management tools Mercurial and Git, job scheduling tools like Jenkins and Apache Continuum, test management tools like TestNG and Selenium need tight integration which is a challenge. The existing PKI infrastructure for access control does not share data among the software tools and processes increasing the complexity when an organization needs to leverage the existing cloud services. The proposed approach optimizes the execution time by taking single CSV with input test case and metadata information and efficiently group and executes the tests automatically. The proposed method includes implementation of security access control mechanism for the jobs execution platform in cloud environment.

A Secured Database Monitoring Method to Improve Data Backup and Recovery Operations in Cloud Computing

“…Naturally, it was forgotten in the maintenance industry for many years. Thus, a part of the data is completely lost [33,34]. It took several more days to completely recreate the infrastructure services -no backups of operating systems, binaries, configurations, etc.…”
