Conclusion
The need for performance testing on cloud is here to stay and continue to grow due to digital transformation, DevOps, and cloud adoption.
The capability to provide performance testing services on cloud using self-service environments will not only become a differentiator for system integrators but a question of survival as well.
The self-service environments service providers should think through differentiating their offering by including more choice of testing tools (COTS and open source), test data management, customer environment cloning capabilities, DevOps support, reporting, security, and ease of use.
Performance testing can be complex and time consuming and requires expert time, expensive tools, and resources. PTaaS allows organizations to pay based on consumption, reducing the capital investment and risk for the client besides, cutting down on testing cycle time and time to market.
