Enterprises are adopting cloud technologies, but it’s not happening overnight. IT leaders recognize that in order to move production environments to the cloud, they have to move development and testing (“dev-test”) environments first. This allows for gradual cloud adoption, and qualifies the cloud’s features and capabilities in terms of performance, security, scalability, and other aspects of IT management. Below, we will look at the benefits of running devtest environments in the cloud.
1 – Optimal Utilization
2 – Operational Efficiencies
3 – Enable Collaboration
4 – Parallelized Tests
5 – Monitored Delivery
Final Note
With the emergence of end users as the primary drivers of new features and solutions, traditional IT has had to transform in order to quickly accommodate expectations. Time to market is of the essence and delivery speed has become a critical factor in today’s competitive market landscape. Running devtest in the cloud is the ultimate jumping off point for cloud adoption.
Accelerate thesofware development lifecycle:In the software development lifecycle, testing new software builds before they are released is as equally — if not more — important as the new features themselves. With today’s ever more agile development processes, providing easy, flexible resource allocation to both developers and test engineers can materially affect the speed with which new software features are ready for end users.
