One of the most challenging activities for many software engineering projects is – Software Testing. Lot of resources and budget is required to successfully complete software testing. One of the major challenges faced by organizations is to provide enough resources for software testing in distributed environment, with varying loading level. When web applications use cloud computing and infrastructure to simulate real world user traffic by using cloud technologies and solution it is known as CLOUD testing. This form of testing provides ability to test cloud by using hardware and bandwidth of cloud infrastructure. As in life every positive comes with some negatives too, same is the case with cloud testing. Some of the potential risks associated with this technology are –security, lack of standards, usage, infrastructure and planning.
Security in the public cloud is still a major concern. Since cloud testing is based on Internet, it is directly prone to any issue that may impact Internet. At present, there are no universal or standard procedures and solutions to integrate public cloud resource with a company’s internal data center resources and At times it is difficult to create real time test environment as some cloud providers offer very less flexibility. Cloud Authentication for Virtual servers uses clear text sometimes as user name password which becomes a major threat. In this paper we have proposed an idea to overcome this issue.
