Having Your Head up in the Clouds
The cloud has been a hot topic for many years, to the point of becoming mainstream (everybody is using it in one way or another). In this chapter, we will see some concepts about the cloud, how it can help increase the quality and development speed of your apps, and which things you have to be careful about while using it.
Some people might say that having your head up in the clouds is a bad thing, but in this case, in regard to testing, I believe it is something you should definitely aim for.
In this chapter, we will cover the following concepts:
- What exactly is the cloud, and how can it help you?
- Creating a benchmark to measure testing performance
- Testing appropriately in the cloud
- Dangers of the cloud
- Testing applications in the cloud
- Thinking out of the box about the cloud
