Cloud offerings of organizations must include Infrastructure optimization
‘Customer facing channel’ intensive industries like retail, banking and media will look at the cloud in a big way while, retail is pegged at the peak of the cloud testing curve. Today many organizations are already reaping the benefits of doing software development and software testing on the cloud. Reasons attributed include - value for money, skill set, these industries cannot build the environment by themselves and they see cloud as an entry point into a market or region (instead of having ‘feet on the street’).
1) From an industry perspective :
a. Retail will be the first and fastest to get on to the cloud testing bandwagon. Performance testing would be their anthem.
b. BFSI – particularly banking will follow
c. Public sector and Government institutions will be the third
2) From a service portfolio perspective, on the cloud, we see Performance testing and Security testing riding the growth curve
3) In general SMEs will be looking at the cloud / cloud testing in a bigger way
Cloud offerings of organizations must include Infrastructure optimization as this will hold the key to solving one of business’ biggest challenges - managing costs. Infrastructure optimization helps drive demand for a more secure, well-managed and dynamic infrastructure to enable organizations to help reduce their overall IT costs and make better use of IT resources which in many cases they have already invested in.
Cloud development and testing coupled with infrastructure optimization will not fizzle out as the number of organizations that are investing in it will continue to grow as they will continue to see value. The ones that have invested by then will not pull out as they would have started reaping payback and will not see any ‘tangible benefits’ in doing so (pulling out of the cloud ).
