A Fuzzy Mathematical Model for Peformance Testing in Cloud Computing Using User Defined Parameters

Abstract

Software product development life cycle has software testing as an integral part. Conventional testing requires dedicated infrastructure and resources that are expensive and only used sporadically. In the growing complexity of business applications it is harder to build in-house testing facilities and also to maintain that mimic real-time environments. By nature, cloud computing provides resources which are unlimited in nature along with flexibility, scalability and availability of distributed testing environment, thus it has opened up new opportunities for software testing. It leads to cost-effective solutions by reducing the execution time of large application testing. As a part of infrastructure resource, cloud testing can attain its efficiency by taking care of the parameters like network traffic, Disk Storage and RAM speed. In this paper we propose a new fuzzy mathematical model to attain better scope for the above parameters.
