摘要：Cloud computing has emerged as a new computing paradigm that impacts several different research fields, including software testing. In cloud computing, the user can use high end services in form of software that resides on different server and can be accessed from all over the world. It not only changes the way of obtaining computing resources but also alters the way of managing and delivering computing services, technologies and solutions. Software testing reduces the need for hardware and software resources and offers a flexible and efficient cloud platform. Testing in the cloud platform is effectively supported by engineers based on new test models and criteria. Prioritization technique is introduced to provide better relationship between test cases. These test cases are clustered based on priority level. The resources are utilized well by implementing load balancing algorithm. Cloud ensures optimal usage of available resources. However, security and privacy concerns are considered as a main obstacle in cloud. This paper surveys various prioritization, clustering, load balancing and security techniques to enhance the cloud environment. Moreover, the comparison between various software testing techniques are demonstrated.
