Title
A cloud-based TaaS infrastructure with tools for SaaS validation, performance and scalability evaluation
Abstract
With the fast advancements in cloud computing and software- as-a-service (SaaS), testing and evaluation of cloud-based software and SaaS applications became an important task for engineers. Since most existing tools are not developed to support cloud-based software testing and SaaS evaluation, there is a strong demand for a new cloud-based testing infrastructure and evaluation environment for SaaS applications. This paper proposes a testing-as-service (TaaS) infrastructure and reports a cloud-based TaaS environment with tools (known as CTaaS) developed to meet the needs in SaaS testing, performance and scalability evaluation. The paper presents TaaS concepts and CTaaS, including their infrastructure, design and implementation. In addition, the paper demonstrates the application results of our previously proposed graphic models and metrics for SaaS performance and scalability evaluation. Moreover, the paper reports one case study for a selected SaaS (OrangeHRM) using the developed TaaS environment.
