Performance Testing over the Cloud
Cloud computing is becoming more and more famous and mature with the time and its usage has been increased exponentially. Performance engineers setup the copy of the production system in cloud and deploy load injectors on different geographical locations over the cloud to effectively perform the load test.
Advantages
- Cloud testing provides the flexibility of deploying the production system on discrete environment to conveniently test the application
- It’s extremely simple to fix the defects and quickly configure the changes
- It reduces the test cost due to its convenient rental models
- It provides greater test control to simulate required user load and to identify and simulate the bottlenecks
Disadvantages
- Security and privacy of data is the biggest concern in cloud computing
- Cloud computing works on-line and completely depends on the network connection speed
- Complete dependency on Cloud Service Provider for quality of service
- Although cloud hosting is a lot cheaper in long run but its initial cost is usually higher than the traditional technologies
- Although it’s a short-term issue due to the emerging technology and it’s difficult to upgrade it without losing the data
