Conclusion



Cloud ..

The word cloud is used as a metaphor for the Internet,

based on the standardized use of acloud-like shape to denote a network.

The cloud symbol was

used to represent the Internet as early as1994



Cloud Computing..

Cloud computing at it simplest is

internet-based computing providing

shared resources

on demand software.



Deployment Models Of Cloud

Private Cloud

Public Cloud

Community Cloud

Hybrid Cloud



Private Cloud

Operated solely for an organization.

o May be managed by an organization or athird party,

o and may exist on or off site.

CLOUD AND TESTING

Use of cloud infrastructure for software testing



Opportunity Areas for Testing

Infrastructure as a Service

Platform as a Service

Software as a Service

Types of Testing

Stress

Load and Performance

Function

Compatibility

Browser Performance



Stress Testing

Ability of application to maintain acertain level of effectiveness beyond

breaking point. Emphasis on

robustness,

availability, and

error handlingunder a heavy load, rather than correct

behavior under normal circumstances.



Stress Testing

Stress testing assures this by creating peak loads using simulators.

Cost of creating such scenarios isenormous .



A cloud well equipped with the

needed infrastructure and

software.

No on-premise testing

environments needed



Load & Performance Testing

Involves

creation of heavy user traffic,

and measuring its response. There is also a need to tune the performance

of any application to meet certain standards.

Mostly skipped due to expensive

nature.



Load & Performance Testing

Finding out thresholds, bottlenecks &

limitations is a part of performance

testing.

For this, testing performance under a

particular workload is necessary.



By using cloud testing, it is

easy to create such

environment and

vary the nature of traffic on-demand.

This effectively reduces costand time by simulating

thousands of geographicallytargeted users.



Browser Compatibility Testing

More appropriately referred to as user experience testing.

Web applications are tested on different webbrowsers, to ensure : Visual experience irrespective of the browser.

Application behaviour across different browsers. Carrier compatibility and backwards

compatibility.

Hardware (different phones) ,etc.



Various tools enable automated

testing from the cloud.

Cloud has most of the Popular

browsers, which are used for

such tests.



Compatibility Testing

Testing conducted on the application

to evaluate the application's

compatibility with the computingenvironment.

There is a limit to this type of testing ina small organisation.



The cloud with its

ability to host different

operatingenvironments is ideal

Instances of differentOperating Systems

can be created on demand,

making compatibility testing

effortless.

Conclusion



Conclusions

The cloud is well-suited to testing given itsresource flexibility and reduced security

concerns, compared with the issuesorganizations face when considering placing

production data and applications in thecloud.



Conclusions

Small enterprises will harness public clouds,

while large enterprises will leverage privateclouds for their cloud-based testing services.

But the road to cloud-based testing is pavedwith its own set of challenges.



Conclusions

Companies confident enough to startearly and push forward, however, willreap first-mover advantages that far

outweigh the risks.



Thank you.
