基于OpenStack的云测试平台及其性能分析研究

Performance Study of Cloud Testing Platform Based on OpenStack

云测试是基于云计算的软件测试新模式。在传统的软件测试中,当测试任务高并发、原有的硬件资源无法满足测试时间要求时,需要更换硬件资源、重新配置测试环境。使用云测试可以实现按需分配硬件资源、无需重新配置测试环境,因而比传统软件测试更能节省测试成本。介绍了如何在OpenStack云平台上配置和运行软件代码覆盖率测试工具SAT。实验表明,当测试任务高并发时,所搭建的云测试平台可以在不用重新配置环境的情况下满足用户对测试时间的要求,降低了用户测试成本。

Cloud testing is a new method based on cloud computing to test software. In traditional methods, the original hardware resource may be inadequate when a large amount of concurrent test requests occur. In such case, the hardware resource should be redistributed to establish the needed test environment. However, the cloud testing can achieve distributing the hardware resource on-demand and need not to re-establish the test environment. Consequently, the test cost can be reduced. This paper presents how to combine Open Stack and SAT in order to build a cloud testing platform. The experiment validates that the established platform could both meet the demand on test time and reduce the test cost when massive concurrent test requests occur.
