Cloud has changed the way the software world works. Companies have accelerated their development and deployment cycles with 3x or more speed by adopting the cloud. But Testing in most organizations either is running locally or not taking advantage of the full potential of cloud infrastructure. Testing is the home-alone kid, left to spend the Christmas weekend without the bells the whistles that cloud has to offer.
Digital transformation in IT and Agile delivery model are pushing the testing teams to complete their testing in shorter testing windows. 26 % of the organization are moving to daily releases. 70% of the organization have adopted Agile in delivery. Even after having a high amount of automation coverage teams are struggling to keep up with the pace of testing asked by the business teams.
This talk is about how you can change the story and accelerate cloud adoption in your testing organization with Selenium-based frameworks. Through cloud adoption you benefit from box features of the cloud: On-demand scaling, Cost optimation, Security, Reliability, Geo -routing of your test infrastructure. Cloud adoption doesn’t need to limit to the execution of selenium tests but can help you in test management of automated selenium tests, test data generation, test reporting, test artifact store, and many more. It is not enough to have an Automation First Approach these days, you also need to have Cloud-First Approach for test infrastructure to get the best value from automation.
The talk elaborates on factors to consider while building up the cloud-based testing pipeline and how they will benefit your organization in terms of time to market, cost optimization, and raising the bar of quality.
Finally talks about the moonshot of having a Testing Cloud – AWS of Testing and what will it take to reach there as a testing community.
Take your testing to the cloud, and fly your flag high in quality!
