  1. Strategy for Performance Testing in the Cloud

  2. Introduction Cloud computing is changing the way applications are deployed, monitored, and used by the end–users. Cloud offers a virtually–infinite pool of resources for computing, storage, and networking resources where applications can be scaled as desired. But it is important to measure the performance of these applications in the cloud. Performance is the utmost factor in testing a web application as it directly impacts the end–user experience.  However, Performance testing in the cloud is different from that of traditional applications. The main aim of Performance testing is to measure the parameters such as system throughput & latency with changing number of parallel users accessing your application, with different load profiles, and various other performance metrics. In Cloud infra, this becomes a bit more typical with various virtual machines coming into play. 

  3. Understanding the cloud Cloud is a pay-per-use kind of model which you can scale whenever you want. You can demand the additional resources required and it will be allocated to you. With a high degree of location independence, virtual resources are dynamically assigned and reassigned according to the customers’ needs.  Some of the metrics which are important for a successful cloud implementation are storage, processing, bandwidth, and the number of users accessing it at any given point. Elasticity is one of the major factors for the cloud infrastructure as it defines the cloud’s ability to deal with varying load variations by adding more resources during high load or consolidating the users to fewer points when the load decreases, all in a live cloud setup. Scalability, availability, fault tolerance, and reliability are other factors that define a good cloud infrastructure. Moving performance and load–based application testing to the cloud lowers capital and operational costs and offers support for distributed development & testing teams

  4. Cloud-based testing allows you to get the maximum performance by utilizing a cost-effective means of testing applications at scale. It also allows you to simulate load tests constituting millions of concurrent users coming from multiple geographical locations. • Below are the types of performance tests you should conduct:  • Stress test: Stress testing validates the responsiveness, reliability, and stability of the cloud infrastructure under extremely high load.  • Load test: Load testing ascertains whether or not the system performs optimally when it is being used by multiple users at the same time.  • Browser testing: This type of testing is critical for determining the compatibility of a browser with the overall system.  • Read Full Blog at: https://www.cigniti.com/blog/strategy-for-the-performance-testing-in-cloud/
