Hi folks,
Few things on cloud testing
Cloud testing type
- System testing
- Interoperability testing – infrastructure
- Performance
- Availability
- Multi tenancy- security
- Disaster recover
Cloud testing key objectives
- Ensure excellence of cloud based applications
- Authenticate software as service in cloud environments
- Verify automatic cloud based functional service
- Analyze inter operation capabilities and compitability
Consideration for cloud based testing APIs
- Data security and privacy
- Data migration
- Interface compitability
- Enterprise application integration
Cloud Test environment types
- Cloud based enterprise test environment
- Private/public test environment
- Hybrid cloud test environment
Challenges of cloud testing
- Lack of environment control
- Lack of transparency
- Query limitation
- Self modification and autonomic behavior
- Asynchronous interaction
- Time and load dependent behavior
- Huge configuration space
- Ultra large scale
- Low observity
Challenge SAAS with dummy data
Place holder of simultate the real data with no impact
- Simulate behavior of real data
- Can be quickly created to test API
- Allow developer to focus on test
Role of dummy data in test API
- Nominally occupy space of real data
- Act as stub to avoid api testing issue
- Data for security testing
Cloud testing benefits
- Flexible, comprehensive and indicative testing
- Reduce cost of ownership
- Promote green IT
- Geographic transparency and traceability
Cloud testing strategy
- Stress- testing till breaking point
- Performance- measure response time
- Functional
- Latency
- Security
- Capacity testing= max capacity for current future hardware
- Governance risk compliance test
- Load- system stability
Service model as Test as a servie (TAAS)
- Taas process management
- Access TAAS service
- On demand test environment
- Service option
- Service provisioning
- Service execution
TAAS benefit
- Reduce cycle time
- Reduce business risk
- Improve agility with highly automated solutions
- Helps leverage transactional pricing model for predictable and affordable solutions
TAAS provider- IBM, SOASTA, sauselab,skytap,vmlogics,
