Introduction-

• Cloud based testing means no complex
  infrastructure requirements.
• Cloud testing is a form of software testing in
  which web applications use cloud
  computing environments (a "cloud") to simulate
  real-world user traffic.
• Cloud computing is an internet based platform
  that renders various computing services like
  hardware, software and other computer related
  services remotely.

Models of Cloud Based Testing-

• SaaS (Software as a Service)- Software as a
  Service (SaaS) is a type of cloud computing,
  which is a software delivery model. Software and
  its associated data are hosted centrally
  (typically in the (Internet) cloud) and are
  typically accessed by users using a thin client,
  normally using a web browser over the Internet.
• PaaS (Platforms as a Service)- PaaS provides the
  entire infrastructure needed to run applications
  over the Internet. It is delivered in the same
  way as a utility like electricity or water. Users
  simply tap in and take what they need the
  complexities are hidden behind the scenes. And
  like any other utility, PaaS is based on a
  metering or subscription model, so users only pay
  for what they use again the delivery route in
  this model is the Cloud
• Iaas (Infrastructure as a Service)- The
  capability provided to the consumer is to
  provision processing, storage, networks, and
  other fundamental computing resources where the
  consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary
  software, which can include operating systems and
  applications.

Advantages of Cloud Based Testing-

• Cloud based support for emulated mobile devices /
  browsers.
• Testing over physical mobile devices is possible.
• More support is available for complex
  applications.
• Real-time visibility of testing is possible for
  project teams.
• Scalable simulation of virtual users is possible
  at significantly lower cost.
• Cloud based testing provides cost savings.
• Reduced IT management effort.
• Testing is quicker.
• Benefits of Virtualization

5
Disadvantages of Cloud Based Computing-

• Downtime.
• Security
• Vendor Lock-In
• Limited Control
• Bandwidth issues.
• Redundant tests.
• Loss of autonomy and security. 
• Spotty feature coverage.
