Abstract

With the continuous development of military theory, cloud computing platform and microservice technology are constantly applied to combat information platform. Under this trend, it has gradually become an urgent demand to ensure the quality of combat information system under the “Cloud + Microservice” mode. However, current studies mostly focus on a single technical point or aspect of the testing for military information system under the “Cloud + Microservice” mode, which lack of an overall summarization of its testing schema. Therefore, based on the relevant testing technologies of cloud platform, microservice and rapid environment construction in recent years, this paper summarizes and puts forward a framework for the testing of information system under the “Cloud + Microservice” mode, and systematically discusses the 3 important aspects of the framework: testing towards cloud platform, testing towards microservice applications and rapid construction of testing environment. The testing framework proposed in this paper can provide top-level guidance for the testing of such systems.
