Testing as a Service (TaaS, typically pronounced 'tass') is a model of software testing whereby a provider undertakes the activity of software testing applications/solutions for customers as a service on demand. Testing as a Service involves the on-demand test execution of well-defined suites of test material, generally on an outsourced basis. The execution can be performed either on client site or remotely from the outsourced providers test lab/facilities.

Skills Needed for Building Clouds
By Mike DiPetrillo, Global Cloud Architect, VMware
1) Networking - Networking is about the most complex piece of VMware's cloud tools. Our product manager likes to call it "flexible" which it really is (and powerful) but it's also complex. Giving end users the ability to configure their own network segments on-the-fly complete with VLAN IDs is something that would scare most network admins and yet this is something that we need to tackle to get to "true cloud". I usually suggest to customers that they go and engage their network team early on in the cloud building process and then recruit the best of the networking engineers to be on the cloud team.
2) Storage - Storage is another area that can get complex. How do you make it so end users don't have to care about the underlying storage and yet land on the right volume from a performance perspective? And don't even get me started on movement of data from one place to another or backup. All of these things are going to require an ace storage engineer on the cloud team.
3) Programming Skills - You don't need some uber code monkey on the team but you do need someone that understands APIs, how to use them, and how you would go about plugging everything together. Automation is the name of the game in the guts of cloud and that's why tools like BMC Atrium Orchestrator, VMware vCenter Orchestrator, and HPOO have become centerpieces in the cloud. Most of these are based on Java or Javascript so find someone who can at least start there. And since nearly everything in cloud land seems to be going the path of REST it would be great to get someone that knows that and XML really well.
So those are my three core skill sets that I tell people to go out and find. There are more you could add to the list such as security or billing or portal design but those can be from people that augment the core team. If you find people in the above core skill sets then you'll be well on your way to architecting a successful cloud build out.

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.

What Cloud Testing offers
Cloud Testing offers services that allow developers, testers and website managers to test their websites using industry standard frameworks and real browsers. Cloud Testing provides this using a SaaS (Software as a Service) model. There’s no need to invest in any hardware, software or consultancy.

Cloud Testing
Cloud Testing is a form of software testing in which Web applications that leverage Cloud computing environments (“cloud”) seek to simulate real-world user traffic as a means of load testing and stress testing web sites
Testing in the cloud is often discussed in the context of performance or load tests against cloud-based applications. However, all types of software application tests, be they performance, functionality, usability, etc., are eligible to be referred to as 'cloud testing'
'The testing entity is targeting an application which resides on a third-party computing platform and is accessing that platform across the internet.'
Leading cloud computing service providers include, among others, Amazon, 3-terra, Skytap, and SOASTA. Some keys to successful testing in the cloud include
1. understanding a platform provider's elasticity model/dynamic configuration method,
2. staying abreast of the provider's evolving monitoring services and Service Level Agreements (SLAs),
3. potentially engaging the service provider as an on-going operations partner if producing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software, and
4. being willing to be used as a case study by the cloud service provider. The latter may lead to cost reductions.
