Cloud9 aims to reduce the resource-intensive and labor-intensive nature
of high-quality software testing. It does so in two ways: -
Cloud9 parallelizes symbolic
execution – an effective but still poorly scalable test automation
technique – to large shared-nothing clusters. To our knowledge, Cloud9
is the first symbolic execution engine that scales to large clusters of
machines, thus enabling thorough automated testing of real software in
conveniently short amounts of time. Preliminary results indicate one to
two orders of magnitude speedup over a state-of-the-art symbolic
execution engine.
-
Cloud9 is an on-demand software testing
service: it runs on compute clouds, like Amazon EC2, and scales its use
of resources over a wide dynamic range, proportionally with the testing
task at hand.
