This document discusses cloud-based testing. It defines cloud computing and the different cloud service models: SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. Cloud-based testing uses cloud technologies and infrastructure to simulate real-world user traffic. Benefits of cloud testing include easier access to testing environments, easier deployment of test systems and applications, easier management, reduced costs, and scalability. Types of testing in the cloud include functional, non-functional, and load testing. Cloud testing provides increased availability, security, performance, and disaster recovery compared to conventional software testing. Most organizations are adopting cloud testing due to its flexibility, scalability, and reduced costs.
Cloud based testing
- 1. by Isah Sani Birnin Gwari CLOUD BASED TESTING
- 2. INTRODUCTION Testing an enterprise application is an important part of software development life cycle and so is the case with application deployment environment. Application has to be tested for correctness, completeness, security and quality. It also has to be tested for the performance of the system under varied load, check when it fails so that the application can be constantly improvised
- 3. With respect to Software engineering, performance testing is determining the system behaviour in terms of responsiveness, stability, scalability, reliability and resource usage under a particular workload.
- 4. CLOUD COMPUTING Refers to the provision of computational resources on demand via a computer network, such as applications, databases, file services, email, etc. The means of using the Internet and remote servers for software applications, data access, data management and storage resources.
- 5. A typical cloud must have several distinct properties: elasticity and scalability, multi-tenancy, self-managed function capabilities, service billing, connectivity interfaces and technologies.
- 6. CLOUD SERVICE MODELS Software as a Service(SaaS) Platform as a Service(PaaS) Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS)
- 7. Software as a Service(SaaS) The applications / products are available to the user on demand via the internet. Eg:Gmail, Google docs. Platform as a Service(PaaS) The runtime environment is available on demand which is used by developers to deliver their applications. Eg: Google App Engine. Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS) IaaS is for architects where the actual hardware infrastructure is deployed on pay per use basis. Eg: Amazon webservices, GoGrid.
- 8. CLOUD BASED TESTING Cloud testing is a form of testing in which web applications uses cloud computing environment and infrastructure to simulate real world user traffic by using cloud technologies and solutions.
- 9. Cloud testing basically aligns with concept of cloud and SaaS. Cloud testing provides with the ability to test cloud by using the cloud infrastructure such as hardware and bandwidth that more closely simulate real world conditions and parameters.
- 10. Testing as a Service (TaaS) TaaS is considered as a new business and service model, in which a provider undertakes software testing activities of a given application in a cloud infrastructure for customers. TaaS can be used to validation of various products owned by organizations that deal with testing products and services which are making use of a cloud based licensing model for their clients.
- 11. Cloud Testing Environments Public Cloud Private Cloud Community Cloud Hybrid Cloud
- 13. BENEFITS OF CLOUD TESTING Testing on cloud carried quite a number of benefits in terms of cost and resources. It is something like “service on demand” or “testing on demand”. The cost of hardware, software, tools, tester etc. is charged on usage basis. Some of the key benefits that can be drawn from this are. Easier to access environments -Easier to get virtual environments vs. dedicated physical hardware -Easier to get different system types & software configurations Easier to deploy -Test Systems -Applications Under Test Easier to manage -Access systems when needed (e.g. during a test cycle) Reduced Costs Scalability -A cloud based application or product can be customized based on the requirement.
- 14. TYPES OF TESTING IN CLOUDS Functional Testing Non-Functional Testing Ability Testing
- 15. Cloud Testing Key Players Acutes (2002) SAP performance testing, load testing and stress testing LoadRunner(2006) Load testing, examination system performance. SOASTA(2006) Touch test, mPulse and cloud testing. Amazon web services(2006) Infrastructure as a service. Google app engine(2008) Web Application platform as a service. Loadstorm(2008) Saas, performance testing, load testing and stress testing. Azure(2009) Application platform as a services. Heroku(2010) Build modern apps, PaaS.
- 16. Cloud Based Testing VS. Conventional Software Testing
- 17. CONCLUSION Testing in a cloud is to increase availability, security, performance, interoperability, disaster recovery and multi- tenancy testing. The aim of cloud testing is to ensures high quality service delivery and avoiding data outages requires testing inside datacenter or outside the datacenter or in both place. Most organizations are now leaning to adopting the cloud testing because of its flexibility, scalability and reduced costs.
