Abstract

Tests, evaluations, and solution comparisons in complex use cases are often realized by creating a testbed for a domain of use cases and solutions. Web-based testbeds add key advantages like results sharing, remote test execution, and collaboration. Focusing on their research objectives, creators see their testbeds as a means to that end. The resulting web-based testbeds are similar in structure and functionality, but there is no common architecture supporting their creation, introducing redundant design efforts. Therefore, we determine structural similarities based on insights into the architecture of current web-based testbeds, from which we derive a generic web-based testbed architecture. This framework of reference will help to develop future testbeds focusing on the testbed domain instead of reinventing general testbed functionality.
