Abstract

Software testing is the process of software engineering to free the software from bugs. Load testing is one of the techniques in software testing and is used to find the maximum load that software can handle without affecting its performance. Load testing is used to test the cloud services that are running in a cloud. All the resources in a cloud are used by the cloud users based on their demand. Using cloud, it is easy to gather the required load for a particular application by forming clusters. If the required load is coming from different clusters and it is not known quantitatively then the problem of load balancing is raised. The proposed load testing tool avoids the problem of getting unequal loads coming from different clusters by distributing the same amount of load to all the clusters. Also the proposed load testing tool for cloud is used to find the maximum number of simultaneous users for a particular cloud system is to handle.
