For cloud offerings, it’s essential to make sure that the service (product) not only meets its functional requirements but also the non-functional requirements. With a range of applications in the cloud, it is now becoming essential to develop the cloud testing strategy.
Today, Cloud Computing has become one of those “big bangs” in the industry. Most organizations are now leaning towards adopting the cloud because of its flexibility, scalability and reduced costs.
Using the cloud for testing is immensely helping organizations to acquire the required tools, software licenses, infrastructures at a very low cost without having to set it up themselves and later worry about its maximum utilization. Evidently, a cloud is here to stay for a long time and cloud testing has a bright future as well.
Testing in a cloud has to not only ensure that the functional requirements are met, but a strong emphasis needs to be laid on nonfunctional testing as well. Let’s take a look at the different kinds of testing that are performed.
Functional testing has to be performed to make sure that offering provides the services that the user is paying for. Functional tests ensure that the business requirements are being met.
Non-functional tests mainly focus on the web application based tests ensuring that they meet the desired requirements.
