Abstract
Testing is an essential part of software development and many test platforms exist to facilitate the process. Test systems are scarce, because especially scalability tests require many computational resources. In this paper we show that these limitations can be overcome by migrating the test infrastructure into Cloud environments. Concrete virtualization concepts for large-scale testbeds are discussed using the example of NESSEE - an emulation environment for testing distributed Audio/Video conferencing applications. Furthermore, we describe how the Cloud migration allows us to better integrate the test runs of the platform into the work flow of software development.
