Cloud Based Software Testing Services뀀Ƞ Testing as a Service

In Contemporary times the rapid increase in complexity of business applications renders it difficult for organizations to build and maintain in-house testing facilities simulating real time environment, contemplating higher set-up costs, operational flexibility and scalability thus necessitating Cloud Computing which offers a potential solution. Traditionally, testing has always been considered a necessary evil owing to requirement of huge, dedicated infrastructure and resources that were used sporadically. Testing in the cloud leverages the cloud computing infrastructure, reducing the unit cost of computing, while increasing testing effectiveness. Cloud-based testing focuses on a unique combination of lower costs, pay-peruse and elimination of upfront capital expenditures. However, the benefits extend beyond cost. Cloud based testing offers many non-cost advantages like on-demand facility, freedom from holding assets, enhanced collaboration, greater efficiency and reduced time-to-market for key business applications. Cloud-based testing service providers offer a standardized infrastructure and pre-configured software images capable of reducing errors considerably. Layers of the Cloud such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platformas-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), can be used to support testing in a rapid, agile, automated and cost effective way than that of the traditional methods. Cloud Computing, is the single largest focal point of the computing infrastructure existing today. However, coupled with the unique solutions, Cloud
