What are the advantages of Cloud Testing?
Overview
Cloud Testing offers a lot of advantages over traditional testing methodologies. In this post, we will learn some of the advantages of Cloud Testing to the organization and QA Teams.
Advantages
Advantages of Cloud testing are as follows:
Support Multiple Use-cases
Cloud Testing is easy to adopt for the organizations and the QA Teams.
SaaS Cloud Platforms (For Example, LambdaTest) supports multiple use-cases for running tests on the cloud. Real-time live testing for Manual teams, CI/CD pipeline support for Automation. SaaS platforms offer CI plugins integration. CI Plugin will enable test scripts by connect Jenkins CI instance to Cloud Selenium grid.
Saves Money
With Pay-As-You-G0 or on demand usage,Cloud testing saves a lot of money and hardware costs. The device combinations increase exponentially when you consider several factors like OS x Browsers x Resolutions x Versions etc. It will huge cost to maintain the devices in-house QA lab.
Scalability
Cloud Testing is elastic based on the testing needs. SaaS platforms are scalable and support parallel testing.
On the fly
Cloud testing offers on-the-fly test capabilities. Visual Logs, step-to-step, screenshots, Video recording, Network logs etc automatically.
High Availability(HA)
Cloud platforms are reliable and highly available. Cloud Selenium Gird uptime is reliable when compared to in-house QA lab Selenium grids.
Secure Tunnel
Secure tunnel offers security for Cloud testing. All the traffic between the test machines and the cloud servers is tunneled in secure shell.
