Cloud First Automation Approach – Road to on demand scalability in testing. Cloud has changed the way the software world works. Companies have accelerated their development and deployment cycles by adopting cloud but testing is left behind. Cloud is not used to its fullest potential in different phases of the testing life cycle making it difficult for testing to keep up with the pace of software delivery. Digital transformation in IT and Agile delivery model are pushing the testing teams to shorten their testing cycles. 26 % of organizations are moving to daily releases. 70% of organizations have adopted Agile delivery. This talk is about how we can accelerate testing by helping organizations with their cloud adoption and migrate their testing operations to the cloud in the fastest time. The presentation will illustrate use cases how enterprises has used cloud-based tools to save time and cost. It will also cover how through cloud adoption testing can leverage the benefits of on-demand scaling, cost optimization, security and reliability. Cloud adoption is not limited to execution of tests but can also help testing organizations in test management of automated test, bulk test data generation, test reporting, test artifact store and many more. It will have demonstration of how cloud-based testing pipeline can be pivotal in reducing testing cycle durations. The talk covers techniques and approaches learnt from our experiences that organizations can adopt internally to make migration to the cloud easier from a networking and overall project planning prospective. Finally, this talk is about the moonshot of having a Testing Cloud – AWS of Testing and what it will take to reach the testing community. Take your testing to the cloud and accelerate your testing to the next level!
