YETI on the Cloud

The York Extensible Testing Infrastructure (YETI) is an automated random testing tool that allows to test programs written in various programming languages. While YETI is one of the fastest random testing tools with over a million method calls per minute on fast code, testing large programs or slow code -- such as libraries using intensively the memory -- might benefit from parallel executions of testing sessions. This paper presents the cloud-enabled version of YETI. It relies on the Hadoop package and its map/reduce implementation to distribute tasks over potentially many computers. This would allow to distribute the cloud version of YETI over Amazon´s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
