AUTOMATED TEST ENVIRONMENT DEPLOYMENT WITH METRIC RECOMMENDER FOR PERFORMANCE TESTING ON IAAS CLOUD

摘要

Automated test environment deployment for performance testing on laaS Cloud is provided by utilizing metric recommender. The system and method of the present invention comprising a user interface (104) for setting up test performance; a Metric Agent Module (106, 206) for introducing list of suitable metrics to be captured according to performance goals; an Interface Agent Module (212) for interfacing with API (Application Programming Interface) of Performance Test Tool and Cloud Controller; a Deployment Agent Module (108, 208) for provisioning test environment based on test scripts; a Reporting Agent Module (110, 210) for collecting and aggregating test result from Data Store (220) and displaying in portal; a Metric Store (102, 202) for storing list of metrics; a Metric Logger (216) for monitoring and collecting required metrics during test execution; a Data Store (118, 220) for storing test results from Performance Test Tool (114, 218) and Metric Logger (216). The present invention utilizes a metric recommender wherein the performance test metric is automated using physical resources of virtual machine in which the complexity of setting up test environment will be overcome by providing cloud computing to set up test virtual environment. Metrics are aggregated using metric agents to achieve performance goals by iteration to validate and verify all quantitative and qualitative attributes as reliability, stability or resource utilization of the applications.
