Cloud testing: attracting demand

Cloud Testing is a form of software testing wherein testing is done using resources, machines or servers from the cloud infrastructure. Besides, the entire testing environments can be obtained from the cloud on-demand at a cost that is practical and reasonable due to the pay-for-use nature of cloud computing and with a lead-time that is near impossible within a company’s own data center.

Initially, this concept took shape when companies started using numerous machines booted up in the cloud in order to simulate web traffic and carry out performance tests on Web sites. Now remote machines in the cloud are used to provide a common ground for testers to test and developers to isolate and resolve the observed software defects.

Apparently, cloud testing has traditionally been used to refer to load and performance testing of Web sites. However, with increasing maturity of technology, all kinds of enterprise software can be tested for functional and performance issues before going in for full fledged enterprise deployment.
