Cloud testing involves assessing the functionality, scalability, and reliability of web-based applications within a cloud computing environment. It replicates real-world user traffic to evaluate aspects such as functionality, security, and usability across different devices, browsers, and operating systems. This approach offers benefits such as scalability, cost savings, and improved team collaboration by mimicking actual user conditions such as location, device preferences, and network variations.
Key components of cloud testing include testing platforms, tools, and services. Testing platforms, also referred to as tools, are software or hardware solutions used to test infrastructure or applications. They facilitate scalable, efficient, and comprehensive testing of software across various environments, ensuring reliability and performance in cloud-based deployments. Cloud testing finds applications across organizations of diverse sizes, including small and medium enterprises as well as large enterprises, and spans across industries such as retail, transportation, information technology and telecom, banking and financial services, media and entertainment, and others.
