Cloud testing is a form of software testing in which web applications are tested using simulated real-world Web traffic in a cloud computing environment. It is extremely important as it verifies and validates specific cloud functions on criteria of performance, redundancy and validity among others.
A large number of small and medium organizations that lack the resources and technical expertise of managing their own in house hardware and applications and as such have migrated to cloud solutions. A cloud application runs on a virtualised hardware and a software stack that can be moved and replicated between physical machines as and when the need arises for the same.
In a cloud computing environment, common physical resources such as disk, data stores, networking, etc are shared between different users. Cloud computing are highly scalable in nature meaning that they can handle a peak in traffic by dynamically scaling to more physical resources as needed.
The growing popularity of cloud computing has made cloud testing an important field. Testing engineers as such require the knowledge of different types of testing and tools.
Some of the Areas That Require Comprehensive Testing are as Following:
Security testing: To ensure that essential security requirements are met.
Stress testing: To ensure that data is easily recovered in case of a hardware crash.
Performance and load testing, system integration testing, etc.
