Cloud Service Testing: How to Test Cloud Computing Efficiently

Software testing is a profession full of new challenges at all times. In addition to mastering the knowledge and testing technology in traditional fields, testers must keep pace with the times, such as understanding the new challenges faced by software testing in the "cloud-migration-wise" environment. This book gives a lot of good suggestions and testing techniques on how to test "software using cloud services". You can use these Checklists provided in the book as a tool at your fingertips to check and use at any time.
Xiao Xiaomei Independent consultant of software testing, ChinaTest co-founder This book analyzes in detail the various risks faced by introducing cloud services in the organization, and provides actionable suggestions for each risk from a testing perspective. In this era of rapid shift to cloud services, the appearance of this book can be said to be just right. "Cloud Service Testing" introduces the levels of different cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) from a testing perspective. It divides organizational application cloud services into multiple stages of selection, implementation, and production. It analyzes the risks and risks faced by each stage. Risk analysis methods, and provide feasible test methods for each risk to cover them. In addition, this book also provides detailed checklists so that the test managers responsible for testing in the organization can quickly apply risk assessment techniques and testing techniques to bring value to the decision to use cloud services. This book is not very long and does not specifically describe a certain testing tool, but I believe that its comprehensive analysis and operational advice can provide enough information for the reader.
Duan Nian Douban Engineering Vice President's thin book, but it is not easy to cover such a big topic as "cloud service testing", but this book does it, and it will become the key to the era of cloud testing! In the world of cloud computing, paths and data are vast, and risk-based testing has become the primary strategy. This book simply uses a chapter to explain "from risk to testing", which has good operability. This book has attracted me a lot, such as resilience testing, manageability testing, and security testing. The former two are novel and have good originality, while the latter has also been greatly improved on the cloud level. This book is a rare masterpiece to guide readers to practice cloud testing.
Zhu Shaomin, professor of cloud computing at the School of Software, Tongji University, may have only been a concept in the past few years, and has penetrated into everyone's life today. The rich applications, huge market potential, and changes in software technology and architecture brought by the "cloud" have made cloud computing more and more real and social. Many people keep asking and thinking, what exactly is cloud computing? In the cloud computing environment, how has the software development testing and working model changed? In the cloud computing environment, how to carry out comprehensive and efficient testing? What new challenges and interesting innovations has the "cloud" brought to the testing field? This book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to cloud computing and "cloud" testing. Combined with practical application examples, it explains profound theories in a simple way. It explains the opportunities and challenges that cloud computing brings to today, to the future, and to software technology. I believe that no matter software technicians, managers, or beginners can benefit from it!
Zhang Nan Google Software Test Manager Cloud computing provides convenient and low-cost services, but also allows more risks to be hidden and not seen by testers. This is our biggest challenge in testing cloud services. Fortunately, the Polteq team has done in-depth insights and practices for us. They provide a comprehensive and concise risk heuristic from a variety of dimensions and a critical perspective. These heuristics can help us better identify risks. Focus on the most important parts, and thus provide greater value to the stakeholders we serve. Whether you are a cloud user or a cloud provider, if you are interested in creating higher value, this book should not be missed!
