  • Abstract
    The aim of this paper is to present a new method for automated software testing as a cloud computing service. Unlike actual testing services, our goal is to provide a fully automated testing without human involvement from the service user´s or provider´s side. We use a program modeling allowing an easy symbolic execution and a scalable parallelization of the testing. Programs are divided into several parts assigned to different nodes (Workers) of the cloud. A particular node (Coordinator) allocates tasks to Workers and collects the final results.
