The diversification of satellite communication services imposes varied requirements on network service quality, making quality of service (QoS) testing for microservices running on satellites more complex. Existing testing tools have limitations, potentially offering only single-functionality testing, thus failing to meet the requirements of QoS testing for edge cloud services in mobile satellite scenarios. In this paper, we propose a framework for integrating quality of service testing in satellite edge clouds. More precisely, the framework can integrate changes in satellite network topology, create and manage satellite edge cloud cluster testing environments on heterogeneous edge devices, customize experiments for users, support deployment and scaling of various integrated testing tools, and publish and visualize test results. Our experimental results validate the framework's ability to test key service quality metrics in a satellite edge cloud cluster.
