count an increasing number of variant applications.
Despite the growing popularity of the MTA, there
are still very few empirical studies on the techniques
and testing criteria employed in the cloud domain. We
believe that an essential requirement for more targeted
testing techniques in this field, is to evaluate the test-
ing strategies applied in other contexts.
