This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of cloud testing. Cloud computing, a new paradigm for developing and delivering computing applications and services, has gained considerable attention in recent years. Cloud computing can impact all software life cycle stages, including the area of software testing. TaaS (Testing as a Service) or cloud testing, which includes testing the cloud and testing using the cloud, is a fast developing area of research in software engineering. The paper addresses the following three areas: (1) general research in cloud testing, (2) specific cloud testing research, i.e., tools, methods, and systems under test, and (3) commercial TaaS tools and solutions..

Abstract-Cloud computing has emerged as a new computing paradigm that impacts several different research fields, including software testing. Testing cloud applications has its own peculiarities that demand for novel testing methods and tools. On the other hand, cloud computing also facilitates and provides opportunities for the development of more effective and scalable software testing techniques. This paper reports on a systematic survey of published results attained by the synergy of these two research fields. We provide an overview regarding main contributions, trends, gaps, opportunities, challenges and possible research directions. We provide a review of software testing over the cloud literature and categorize the body of work in the field.

“…Nevertheless, as their approach attempts testing from inside the cloud environment, it is not applicable for security testing, also focusing on the examination of risks posed from outside the cloud. An approach to cloud infrastructure testing is proposed by Rings et al [14] focusing on cloud interoperability testing. Yet, this approach does not take security aspects of any kind into consideration at all.…”

In recent years Cloud computing became one of the most aggressively emerging computer paradigms resulting in a growing rate of application in the area of IT outsourcing. However, as recent studies have shown, security most of the time is the one requirement, neglected at all. Yet, especially because of the nature of usage of Cloud computing, security is inevitable. Unfortunately, assuring the security of a Cloud computing environment is not a one time task, it is a task to be performed during the complete lifespan of the Cloud. This is motivated by the fact that Clouds undergo daily changes in terms of newly deployed applications and offered services. Based on this assumption, in this paper, we propose a novel modelbased, change-driven approach, employing risk analysis, to test the security of a Cloud computing environment among all layers. As a main intrusion point, our approach exploits the public service interfaces, as they are a major source of newly introduced vulnerabilities, possibly leading to severe security incidents.
