Cloud-Based Test Tools: a Brief Comparative View

Abstract

The concept of virtualization has brought life to the new methods of software testing. With the help of cloud technology, testing has become much more popular because of the opportunities it provides. Cloud technologies provides everything as a service, hence the software testing is also provided as a service on cloud with the privileges of lower cost of testing, and relatively less effort. There are various cloud-based test tools . focusing on different aspects of software testing such as load tests, regression tests, stress tests, performance tests, scalability tests, security tests, .functional tests, browser performance tests, and latency tests. This paper investigates the cloud-based testing tools focusing on different aspects of software testing.
