Abstract

Computer program testing may be a basic perspective of computer program improvement, guaranteeing the unwavering quality, usefulness, and execution of applications. However, testing large-scale distributed systems poses unique challenges due to their complexity and dynamic nature. In this paper, we introduce ELASTEST, a comprehensive testing framework designed to address these challenges and enhance testing efficiency in distributed systems. ELASTEST leverages a distributed systems approach, providing a flexible and scalable platform for various testing scenarios, including functional, performance, and security testing. By seamlessly integrating with existing development workflows and supporting containerized environments, ELASTEST enables continuous and automated testing processes, improving the speed and accuracy of testing cycles. We present the architecture, key features, and implementation details of ELASTEST, along with case studies demonstrating its effectiveness in real-world testing scenarios. Our findings highlight the significance of ELASTEST in streamlining software testing practices and facilitating the development of robust and resilient distributed systems.
