Cloud Hosted Testing
Companies often struggle for need to have fast, secure and scalable IT infrastructure, in order to cope up with their Functional Testing and Load Testing requirements. But they often lack the ability to have this setup in-house due to high capital investment that goes into the growing needs of the IT infrastructure, staff and the expertise to administer. Also traditional in-house testing does not simulate real-world traffic which is must for Web testing. Cloud Services allows companies to automate and speed up the Load Testing and Functional testing of their web application using real-world user traffic over the Cloud platform. Cloud Services operate a SaaS (Software as a Service) model, so there is no need to invest in any hardware, software or consultancy; Cloud Services provide all you require for web testing, leaving you to concentrate on your core business needs.
