A Cloud Based Framework for Platform as a Service

Cloud computing systems assist applications by offering virtualized resources that can be provisioned on demand basis. Computing resources are delivered by Virtual Machines (VMs). Traditional development models have many limitations such as cost and delay. Platform as services is an effective solution for most of problems on traditional development application model that faced by programmers as Platform as a Service provides them the same traditional features with a faster speed, reducing the cost and increasing collaboration. The aim of this paper is to develop cloud based framework based on Platform as a Services to assist in developing, testing and deploying application without the need to purchase of hardware, operating systems, and tools that is obtainable as services via the Internet. To evaluate the proposed framework, this study conducted an empirical study by setting up an experiment for programmers and IT 'specialists. The achieved results revealed that the proposed framework can overcome the tradition framework limitations.
