Cloud-based Regression Testing and its benefits
Running regression testing on the cloud for a
software application can accrue a slew of
benefits to enterprises in the form of easy
accessibility, virtualization, continuous
testing, better security, performance, and
integration. According to Forrester, Fast and
easy accessibility, elastic scalability, and
pay-per-use pricing models make cloud computing
attractive for application development and
delivery (ADD) professionals looking to create a
cloud testing strategy to deliver applications
better and faster. Many firms can already make
quality at speed a reality by leveraging cloud
although it's not easy to identify which cloud
model provides the most benefits and for what
types of testing. The challenge for enterprises
is to develop and deploy such applications in
minimum time without compromising the quality.
Besides, there may be situations when an
application after deployment needs to be upgraded
with a new feature or functionality based on
customer feedback or market demand. End-to-end
regression testing is a critical requirement for
applications undergoing upgrades. This can be a
complex, time-consuming, and costly process in an
in-house test environment. With end-to-end
regression testing being run on the cloud, the
applications are likely to deliver optimal
performances and excellent user experiences
irrespective of the types of devices used.

Benefits of cloud-based regression
testing Testing on the cloud can be a feasible
solution for enterprises thanks to the
availability of a huge pool of devices. The slew
of benefits derived from running a cloud-based
regression testing are as follows Greater
access Today, the development of software
happens to be a distributed process where teams
are in different geographic locations separated
by time zones. It is only by using a cloud-based
testing platform that these teams can collaborate
seamlessly at the time and place of their choice.
Continuous testing With the Agile-DevOps model
of software development in vogue to achieve
faster time-to-market and deliver superior user
experience, continuous testing of applications at
every stage is a must. A cloud-based central
repository can be reached by several testers
spread across time zones to collaborate in
testing the application. Security Ensuring the
security of an application has become one of the
top priorities for enterprises given the rising
menace of cybercrime. To buttress the argument
with statistics, global cybersecurity spending is
predicted to exceed USD 1 trillion by 2021.

This reduces costs, lowers operational overheads,
enhances efficiency, and accelerates the time to
market for the application. Ensuring ongoing
security in the cloud requires not only equipping
your cloud instances with defensive security
controls, but also regularly assessing their
ability to withstand the latest data breach
threats. Cignitis systematic approach to
Cloud-based Regression Testing ensures minimum
disruption while keeping costs under control.
