Overview of the cloud infrastructure testing market
Technavio’s research analyst predicts the global cloud infrastructure testing market to grow at a CAGR of more than 16% during the forecast period. The continuous increase in security breaches has increased the demand for cloud infrastructure testing. Data security is a primary concern for any organization and is a vital aspect of cloud infrastructure and applications. Many organizations are concerned about the data security policies governing the cloud infrastructure model. In a multi-tenant model, the risk of information leaks is high, and a leak could result in the misuse or manipulation of data. Security breaches can be controlled to some extent if proper testing of cloud infrastructure is performed. Cloud infrastructure testing enables the identification of leak points within the system and helps the cloud computing system to perform efficiently and effectively.
Emerging trends such as crowdsourcing for testing services is expected to aid the market growth over the next four years. Cloud infrastructure testing services require flexible and dynamic testing to check the feasibility and performance of the cloud infrastructure itself. Testing services through crowdsourcing can be used to test software, perform quality assurance (QA) and to remove bugs. Crowdsourcing services are flexible and is carried out in real-time with a flexible pricing model. A large number of testers work together on similar projects to enhance the quality of the cloud-based model. Bugs are detected and removed in the process, and automated systems are used to provide real-time work progress.
