Abstract  The emergence of cloud computing brings a huge impact to software organizations and software architecture design. This new environment implies that the methods, techniques, tools and concepts of the software testing should also change. This paper summarizes the current software testing research issues on cloud computing, discusses the definition, features, classification and research scope of cloud testing, introduces the test platforms and research projects in academia and industry, and analyses the research work of software testing service in the cloud. At last, it points out the contents that should be solved pressingly in software testing on cloud computing.
Key words： Software testing      Cloud computing      Cloud testing      TaaS
