Why Is Cloud Computing “The Big Thing”




The IT.org challenge of the 21th century

85% in distributed Computing environments, up to 85% of Computing capacity sits idle.

1.5x explosion of information driving 54% growth in storage shipments every year.

70% on average is spent on maintaining current IT infrastructures versus adding new capabilities.

3.5% of loss in sale, due to supply chain inefficiencies. 75% of the customers are working to improve their Security

The 5 Attributes of Cloud Computing

1. It must be service based - and “ready to use”

2. Rapidly scalable - available on demand adding or removing resources as required

3. Shared - multiple customers sharing the same resources & underlying infrastructure

4. Pay per use - metered or measured service that can be provided through different pricing plans

5. Web enabled - connected using internet based technologies

Cloud Computing


Why is it not about cost?

Cloud Computing will take care of elastic scalability what obvious bring cost-saving, the true significance isn't about saving cost, it’s about:1. Taking collaboration

2. Sharing a common information and computational base

3. Collective intelligence

4. Business innovation




Why is Cloud Computing important

Provides new business opportunities in the underlying financial model• Try Cheap / Fail Cheap

• Growth costs related to business growth (revenue)

• Very short time to market

• Evolutionary growth model is well supported

• Low Cost commoditization of IT services




Testing-as-a-service, Cloud testing or is there more?

Cloud Computing and testing


Trends in testing

The current keywords in the business are:• Business is demanding earlier Time to Market (TTM).• Traceability of the quality through the full process of software

development.• Lower cost of their IT and flexibility within workforce• Increased complexity of the ICT ecosystem• Maximize consumer value




How will Cloud Computing change testing?

New way’s of testing




Cloud testing

Cloud testing is a form of software testing in which Web applications that leverage Cloud Computing environments (“Cloud”) seek to simulate real-world user traffic as a means of load testing and stress testing web sites.




Cloud testing providers

Companies are like SOASTA, LoadStorm, Browsermob are building their business on the philosophy “Let's run it again“

Main business area:• Performance testing• Stress/Endurance testing• Functional testing• Regression testing




Crowd sourcing / testing

Building a community that can be utilized to executed testing on a large scale with an actual income generation.




Two examples

Flash Mob testing is delivering testers from the Software Testing Club community. Customer needs to deliver a environment.



User testing is specially focused on Usability testing. It gives you access to a large panel of users, on-demand.• The users are not usability experts

however real consumers.


Testing-as-a-service (TaaS)

Testing-as-a-service is the ability to test local or in Cloud-delivered system using testing software and services that are remotely hosted.

Within this you can see two key aspects:




TaaS (fixed cost)

Testing as service started with only delivering the resources to the customer that where related to fixed cost.• Hosting of specialized test infrastructure • Hosting of test tooling• Outsourcing of the test infrastructure to a third party hosting provider.

This approach lowered the direct cost by reducing capex.




Fully on-demand sourcing

Testing as a Service offerings• Providing the entire range of automated testing services, both on-site

and offshore. • Delivering customer-focused test labs for automated testing • Building processes, procedures and methodology for, automated, testing • Providing expertise/hosting in key areas such as Testing Tools, Test

Methodology, Security Testing and Availability Testing.




HP Testing-as-a-Service

HP delivers application testing services in a highly available, consumable, pay-as-you-go model that provides flexibility in service and pricing.




Testing as service (Crowd sourcing)

A combination of TaaS and crowd testing. TaaS supplier delivers environment, tools etc.

Human resources will be requested from their community and will be paid based on the number of defects that they find.




Two examples

uTest business model is pretty simple: clients post software to be tested and the community of testers at uTest will test the website.



Amazon Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for work that requires human intelligence. The Mechanical Turk web service enables companies to programmatically access this marketplace and a diverse, on-demand workforce.


Testing Service Aggregator

Supplier who combines a number of Cloud (and potentially non-Cloud) services to form a complete solution on behalf of a customer or customers.
