	  abstract     = {In this paper, we propose an automatic verification
technology of software patches for user virtual environments on IaaS
Cloud to decrease verification costs of patches. In these days, IaaS
services have been spread and many users can customize virtual
machines on IaaS Cloud like their own private servers. Regarding to
software patches of OS or middleware installed on virtual machines,
users need to adopt and verify these patches by themselves. This task
increases operation costs of users. Our proposed method replicates
user virtual environments, extracts verification test cases for user
virtual environments from test case DB, distributes patches to virtual
machines on replicated environments and conducts those test cases
automatically on replicated environments. We have implemented the
proposed method on OpenStack using Jenkins and confirmed the
feasibility. Using the implementation, we confirmed the effectiveness
of test case creation efforts by our proposed idea of 2-tier abstraction
of software functions and test cases. We also evaluated the automatic
verification performance of environment replications, test cases
extractions and test cases conductions.
