2. 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 (AD&D) 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 testingis 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.

3. Cloud-based Regression Testing and its benefits • 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.
