Announcement Cloud in 1997 “In the last 7 years, do you know how many times I have lost any personal

data? Zero.

Do you know how many times I have backed up my computer? Zero…

I have computers at Apple, at NeXT, at Pixar, and at home. I walk up at any

of them and log in as myself, it goes over the network, finds my home

directory on a server, and I got my stuff where ever I am…

Carrying around these non-connected computers or computers with tons of

data and state in them is Byzantine by comparison.”

Steve jobs at WWDC 1997 (Apples Worldwide Developers Conference) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LEXae1j6EY)

Cloud computing - Advantages

1. Time to market

2. Scalability

3. Reduction of IT-costs

Cloud testing

• a form of software testing in which

web applications use cloud computing

environments to simulate real-world user

traffic.

• allows you to use simulated web traffic to ‘load

test’ a website or web application with a

flexible, scalable and affordable testing

environment.

Advantages cloud test tools

• Accessible at Any place, Any time, Any device

• Scalability

• No infrastructural constraints

• No geographical constraints

• Low time to market

• Temporary contract / low costs

• No installation

• Availability

• Usability

• Possibilites for endurance testing

• ………

Changed quality expectations

Cloud General Cloud and Testing Testing the Cloud Cloud Possibilities

Do you know how many times I have lost any personal data?

Do you know how many times I have backed up my computer? Zero!

Users of cloud solutions expect

• Being able to use the solution at any time, any

place using any device

• Being able to run their processes

without failures

• No loose of data

TaaS Service Level agreement

• Agreements on:

• Number of test cycles per period (including peak and off-peak)

• Test coverage (quality level) or effort

• Through put time (test execution, test preparation, etc.)

• Defect detection percentage (DDP)

• Test or QA activities in general

• Reports (operational and tactical)

• But also ……

• Quality level of documents used for testing and the system under

Cloud General Cloud and Testing Testing the Cloud Cloud Possibilities

Testing the cloud

• Security:

• Compliancy statement

• Hack testing

• Continue monitoring

• Test of cost models

• Be aware of possible fixed release dates

of SaaS solutions

• Juridical aspects of the cloud

• Availability of cloud solutions: • Test of vendors (Cloudsleuth)

• Two internet providers

• Two instances / multi-region

Cloud General Cloud and Testing Cloud Possibilities Testing the Cloud

Resume

• The cloud is a TaaS enabler

• The cloud will change the expectation of users

regarding quality

• Cloud services requires different test approach

• Cloud test tools allow test teams to:

• avoid high costs on investments

• execute test global tests

• The cloud allows the test community to cooperate

and connect

The cloud has a already a high impact on

Software Testing

…….. and the impact will become huge

Stay Ahead
