Cloud Testing Solutions

Cloud Computing allows businesses to focus on their core business and fills a perpetual need of IT: a way to increase capacity or add capabilities without investing in new (or having a need for maintaining) infrastructure. Although the cloud can offer significant benefits, it has its own risks in terms of security, reliability, compliance and performance. To mitigate these risks, organizations should have a cloud testing strategy.

Cloud computing encompasses any subscription-based or pay-per-use service that, in real time over the Internet, extends an organization’s existing capabilities.  Most cloud solutions fall into one of these models:

  • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
  • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
  • Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
  • Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS)
  • Hybrid

No matter what model- be it public, private or a hybrid, VIP helps organizations understand the inherit challenges associated with adopting cloud solutions.  Leveraging our extensive background in quality management and our understanding of the various cloud models, VIP offers the following cloud testing offerings:

  • Defining Cloud-based Test Strategy and Test Plan- design and implement testing strategies to address the key issues customers face when moving to or implementing a cloud solution such as:
    • Privacy – Will sensitive data be hidden?
    • Security – Will access be appropriately controlled?
    • Stability – Will availability be impacted?
    • Regulatory – Will it be compliant?
    • Functionality – Will it behave as expected?
    • Performance – Will it meet concurrent user and data throughput needs?
  • Pre Deployment Testing – Determine if your application will perform optimally when you move to the cloud.
  • Post Deployment Monitoring – Determine if your application performance and availability has been impacted after you move to the cloud.

With so much risk and exposure to new technology and business processes, the role of testing and QA in the world of cloud computing should not be underestimated. Contact our Testing experts today!
