Abstract

Resources scheduling plays an important role in Cloud testing. The completion time for the entire testing works in Cloud testing and the cost of Cloud services could both reduce a lot through good scheduling strategies. This paper mainly focuses on the dependencies between testing tasks and proposes ACO_TD(ACO based on testing task dependencies). ACO_TD not only possesses advantages of ACO, but also makes up shortcomings of ACO such as slow convergence and easy falling into local optimization. CloudSim is used for simulation experiment, and ACO_TD has acquired faster execution speed and better load balancing of VM compared with RR, GA and ACO in experiment. The advantages of ACO_TD become more and more obvious as the scale of testing tasks in Cloud grows.
