云计算及其在测试领域的应用探索

云计算是传统计算机技术和网络技术发展融合的产物,其核心思想是将大量用网络连接的计算资源统一管理和调度,构成一个计算资源池向用户提供按需服务。云计算的出现和快速发展为测试领域带来了新的机遇。首先介绍了云计算的定义和基本特征、服务模型及部署模型,划分了体系结构;其次从软件测试、硬件测试和自动测试系统3个方面,论述云计算在测试领域的应用需求及优势特点,给出一种基于云计算的自动测试系统架构方案;最后展望云计算在测试领域的应用前景,并提出了所面临的安全性、服务模式及适用范围等需要解决的问题。

Cloud Computing and Exploration of Its Application to Test Realm

Cloud computing is a syncretic development result of traditional computer technology and network technology, whose core idea is to manage and attemper huge computing resources linked by network and then provide services for users from computing resources pool. The birth and speedy development of cloud computing bring new opportunities to test realm, which is closely related to computer technology. This paper discusses the requirement of applying cloud computing to test from three aspects such as hardware test, software test and automatic test system, then presents an automatic test system architecture based on cloud computing. At last, the paper presents the expectation and the obstacle of applying cloud computing to test.
