Cloud Testing Services

Software testing is an essential part of the software development cycle. Until recently, companies were depending on in-house resources for carrying out software testing. However, with the development of component-based and distributed applications leading to resultant increase in software complexities and high cost of maintenance of in-house testing facilities as well as delays in time-to-market of products, businesses are looking forward to employing more effective testing approaches.

Cloud testing is emerging as a cost-effective way for carrying out testing of small scale as well as enterprise applications. The increasing popularity of cloud computing has led to the rise of cloud-based testing as a low-cost testing approach. This involves the use of cloud infrastructure to carry out the software testing. Cloud testing services provides several deep-seated advantages as compared to traditional testing techniques that include:

• Reduced Testing Costs
• Enhanced Testing Effectiveness
• Flexibility
• Scalability
• Pay Per Use
• Real World Traffic can be Simulated from Multiple Locations
• Easy Monitoring of the Testing Environment
• Easy Availability of Infrastructure and Staff
• Reduced Execution Time of Testing for Large Applications

At the same time, cloud-based testing introduces a new set of challenges, such as concerns regarding data security, cloud vulnerabilities, data accessibility, and a lack of standards. In addition, the use of cloud testing requires skilled staff with considerable expertise in conducting these tests.

Instead of investing in-house cloud technology, a practical and cost-effective way for businesses to get the advantage of cloud- testing is to outsource it to an expert software testing service provider. Invensis Technologies, a leading Software Testing Company, has greater than 16 years’ experience in providing quality software testing services.

By outsourcing their testing requirements, businesses can control testing costs, increase the test coverage, and management overhead as well as speed up their software development life cycle and monetize it faster. Companies can then pay for what they use. They can also profit from the technical expertise of the testing team of Invensis.
