What is Testing as a Service(TaaS)?

Testing as a Service (TaaS) is an outsourcing model in which testing activities associated with an organization’s business activities are performed by a service provider rather than employees. TaaS may involve engaging consultants to help and advise employees or simply outsourcing an area of testing to a service provider. Usually, a company will still do some testing in-house. TaaS is most suitable for specialized testing efforts that don’t require a lot of in-depth knowledge of the design or the system. TaaS or Software Testing as a Service is an outsourcing model, in which testing activities are outsourced to a third party that specializes in simulating real world testing environments as per client requirements. TaaS is also sometimes known as on-demand testing.
We have automated the provisioning of test services, including hosting of the application under test, on a cloud-based platform and combined our relevant testing expertise, capabilities, market leading and open source test tools, and specialized testing learnings into a single end-to-end testing service. TaaS spans all aspects of testing, from functional, automation, performance, infrastructure, and security testing to a fully managed testing service operated on SLA's and KPI's. And it accommodates custom, enterprise, business and mobile applications. Our approach delivers up to 30% improvement in quality; up to 40% improvement in productivity and up to 30% reduced costs

Software Testing as a Service over Cloud

Once user scenarios are created, and the test is designed, these service providers delivers servers to generate virtual traffic across the globe.

In Cloud, software testing occurs in following steps

• Develop users scenarios
• Design test scripts
• Select cloud service provider
• Set up infrastructure
• Leverage cloud service
• Start testing
• Monitor goals
• Deliver

TaaS is useful when

• Testing of applications that require extensive automation and with short test execution cycle.
• Performing testing task that don't ask for in-depth knowledge of the design or the system
• For ad-hoc or irregular testing activities that require extensive resources.

Benefits of Cloud Testing
