TMap NEXT® Testing Clouds is different from its TMap predecessors.

Whereas the books in the TMap series are handbooks with step-by-step

information, this book is an innovation, about testing clouds for the

early adopter. It describes the cloud business model for testing,

Business Technology and steps we took in cloud projects.

The Cloud is still at an early stage, but the growth of cloud-based

computing is outstripping even the most optimistic predictions. It’s

early 2011 and almost all forecasts of “the” most important IT

technologies name cloud computing in their Top 3. That growth is

based on a compelling value proposition: speed to market, agility to

bring forward or retire service, and the chance to move expenditure

from CapEx into OpEx. Although the cloud is still in its infancy, it

is increasingly clear that the cloud model will supplement, if not

entirely replace, mainframe and client/server installations in the

years to come.

The cloud is a business model or platform on which testing must be

carried out just like any other service. It enables convenient, on-

demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing

resources. It is not only an IT opportunity, but a strategic business

opportunity; it creates the ability to get the business in charge of

IT and change from Information Technology (IT) to Business Technology

(BT). And as the Cloud Era emerges, testing will change! Not only for

information systems, but also for testing the infrastructure, cloud-

enabled applications, and the ability to have instant deployable test

infrastructure. Testing applications on the cloud is the same as

testing applications on a traditional infrastructure. Only what is

tested is different.
