A Test Method for Shortening Test Time of Cloud Computing Platforms Based on Genetic Algorithm

To ensure its normal operation, the cloud computing platform needs to be tested. There have been some studies on shortening testing time, but there is still room for improvement. In 2023, we designed a method that can save time by reusing one virtual machine between test cases. Now we propose a new method that can save time by reusing multiple virtual machines. In this method, we use the genetic algorithm to find the optimal solution and execute simulation tests. According to the simulation results, this method has achieved good results.
