Performance evaluation of SUMEGHA cloud computing environment: Methodologies & tool

Abstract

Cloud ecosystem basically offers Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). This paper describes the testing process employed for testing the C-DAC cloud SuMegha. Though new tools for the testing cloud are emerging into the market, there are aspects which are suited for manual testing and some which can be speeded up using automated testing tools. This paper brings out the techniques best suited to test different features of Cloud computing environment. It offers a comparison of several tools which enhance the testing process at each level. The authors also try to bring out (recommend) broad guidelines to follow while setting up a cloud environment to reduce the number of bugs in the system.
