Performance testing as a service using cloud computing environment: A survey

Abstract

Cloud testing is gaining much attention in both academia and industry as an emerging concept in the field of software testing. Cloud testing implies leveraging the resources of the cloud computing environment to overcome deficiencies of the traditional testing approaches. As a result, testing-as-a-service (TaaS) is introduced as a service model that conducts all testing activities in a fully automated manner using cloud-based resources. Performance testing is a type of software testing that validates the performance characteristics of the application under test (AUT) when subjected to different workloads during its operation. Performance characteristics include throughput, response time, and resource utilization of the AUT under a certain workload. This paper focuses on reviewing the literature related to the provision of performance testing as a service (P-TaaS). In this study, we survey the previous work related to cloud-based performance testing. We show the strengths and weaknesses of the current research. Besides, we compare the P-TaaS with the traditional performance testing methodologies. A detailed discussion of the benefits and challenges of P-TaaS is introduced along with identifying the research gaps and the future directions that can be adopted.

A Structured Cloud-Based Software Testing Model with a Case Study Implementation

“…Also demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach, showcases higher fault detection rates, prioritization accuracy, and lower execution times compared to existing prioritization techniques. [9] The study examines existing research on cloud-based performance testing and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches. The paper also compares P-TaaS with traditional performance testing methodologies.…”

SIMADU: Integrated Application to Support Student Activities in University

“…In order to welcome the global information era and to continue to exist in the increasingly fierce competition in the world of education, every educational institution needs to have added value and strong competitiveness. Then the last benefit is to make it easier for the campus community to use smartphone mobile phones to access the Academic Information System more flexibly, from anywhere and at any time, as long as there is a network for the mobile phone device (Inupakutika et al, 2020;Ali, 2022;Budoya et al, 2019).…”
