Abstract

We present ElasTest, an open-source generic and extensible platform supporting end-to-end testing of large complex cloud systems, including web, mobile, network and WebRTC applications. ElasTest is developed following a fully transparent and open agile process around which a community of developers, contributors and users is collected. We demonstrate ElasTest in action by testing the FullTeaching application: the video is available from http://elastest.io/videos/icse2018-demo.
