An architectural prototype for testware as a service

Software quality assurance is very important in each software project. As part of this quality assurance, testing is applied and testware are used. Current trends in software development show that cloud architectures are becoming preferred over classical software architectures. To follow this trend, we propose an architectural prototype of a testware as a service (TaaS). In current paper, we present the architectural blueprint of our TaaS and initial results of its implementation.
