Considerable amount of cloud adoption is proven in the area of software testing. There are several providers in the area of hosted testing tools and services like IBM and HP. The functional testing tools cover a variety of aspects in functionality testing for Web applications, Web services and mobile applications. Another set of tools in relation to cloud environments is in the area of performance testing from cloud providers such as BlazeMeter, SOASTA, LoadStorm and Keynote. This chapter discusses various options available for leveraging cloud for performance testing of software applications. Additionally, the chapter covers some of the key considerations when selecting the solution providers. The chapter also presents a conceptual reference framework for leveraging the readily available public cloud infrastructures for optimized cost and high-volume load simulations from different regions for effi cient testing. Such a custom framework can help in making the enterprise system services more market ready, which in turn aids in improving the overall quality of the enterprise systems. Proposed reference framework can be used in performance testing, regression testing, benchmarking and product certifi cation of any on-premise or cloud-deployed services. This helps in reducing the overall testing cost and test cycle duration, thereby achieving accurate capacity planning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
