“…Test Script Language feature is considered since it should be defined which language is supported by low-code testing component for scripting tests. Various languages can be used, such as test-specific DSLs defined by the LCDPs, test-specific languages such as Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3) 9 , and programming languages (e. g., Java).…”

Low-code is a growing development approach supported by many platforms. It fills the gap between business and IT by supporting the active involvement of non-technical domain experts, named Citizen Developer, in the application development lifecycle.Low-code introduces new concepts and characteristics. However, it is not investigated yet in academic research to point out the existing challenges and opportunities when testing low-code software. This shortage of resources motivates this research to provide an explicit definition to this area that we call it Low-Code Testing.In this paper, we initially conduct an analysis of the testing components of five commercial Low-Code Development Platforms (LCDP) to present low-code testing advancements from a business point of view. Based on the low-code principles as well as the result of our analysis, we propose a feature list for low-code testing along with possible values for them. This feature list can be used as a baseline for comparing low-code testing components and as a guideline for building new ones. Accordingly, we specify the status of the testing components of investigated LCDPs based on the proposed features. Finally, the challenges of low-code testing are introduced considering three concerns: the role of citizen developer in testing, the need for high-level test automation, and cloud testing. We provide references to the state-of-the-art to specify the difficulties and opportunities from an academic perspective. The results of this research can be used as a starting point for future research in low-code testing area. CCS CONCEPTS• Software and its engineering → Software testing and debugging.

“…Indeed, each service receives a MIDAS DSL model as input and generates test cases for the input model, based on its own test scenario. There are also other services for test case prioritization, scheduling, transformation to the TTCN-3 test code, execution, and arbitration [4,[9][10][11][12]14].…”

“…Another considerable set of primary studies proposes a TaaS architecture for SOA (e.g., [113], [112]). Among them, the papers [58], [60], and [59] belong to a series of works that perform SOA testing leveraging the already mentioned MIDAS platform [37], [18].…”

A Systematic Review on Cloud Testing

A systematic literature review is presented that surveyed the topic of cloud testing over the period 2012--2017. Cloud testing can refer either to testing cloud-based systems (testing of the cloud) or to leveraging the cloud for testing purposes (testing in the cloud): both approaches (and their combination into testing of the cloud in the cloud) have drawn research interest. An extensive paper search was conducted by both automated query of popular digital libraries and snowballing, which resulted in the final selection of 147 primary studies. Along the survey, a framework has been incrementally derived that classifies cloud testing research among six main areas and their topics. The article includes a detailed analysis of the selected primary studies to identify trends and gaps, as well as an extensive report of the state-of-the-art as it emerges by answering the identified Research Questions. We find that cloud testing is an active research field, although not all topics have received enough attention and conclude by presenting the most relevant open research challenges for each area of the classification framework.

“…By monitoring which licenses are used for which amount of time, a payment structure between the tool provider and the cloud platform provider can be defined. More details on this problem, as well as other technical prob- lems which were solved within the MIDAS project, can be found in the literature [7,8].…”

The quality of Web services is an important factor for businesses that advertise or sell their services in the Internet. Failures can directly lead to fewer costumers or security problems. However, the testing of complex Web services that are organized in service-oriented architectures is a difficult and complex problem. Model-based testing (MBT) is one solution to deal with the complexity of the testing. With MBT, testers do not define the tests directly, but rather specify the structure and behavior of the System Under Test using models. Then, a test strategy is used to derive test cases automatically from the models. However, MBT yields a large amount of tests for complex systems which require lots of resources for their execution, thereby limiting its potential. Within this article, we discuss how cloud computing can be used to provide the required resources for scaling up test campaigns with large amounts of test cases derived using MBT.
