Advancements in cloud computing software testing research

Cloud computing has changed the way to use computing resources which include computers, network, data storage and application services. Due to this the way of management and delivery of services, technologies and solutions also have changed. The new environment requires software testing methods, technologies and tools also to be changed. To ensure high quality of cloud applications under development, developers are expected to perform testing of quality and correctness of the developed software. This research discusses the characteristics of software testing in a cloud computing environment. This research discusses the definition, characteristics, types, advantages and challenges of cloud computing software testing.
