Need for a cloud platform to build end-to-end performance testing

Environment availability of ready-to-use cloud infrastructures along with the required tooling is important to build end-to-end performance testing environment. The cloud environment supports the provisioning of the required infrastructure with a choice of configuration, testing tools, reports, and operational support. Many organizations have cloud and provisioning of environments on public and private clouds.

The typical components of a cloud platform include the following:

• Provisioning a development and test environment on cloud
• A portal for development and test teams to track the status and usage of environments and offer them self-service
• Use of environment templates for quick provisioning of environments
• Run processes to provide operations support to the development and test teams
• On-demand provisioning of tools (for example, HPE Loadrunner)
