Do cloud applications change the way you approach your software testing?

George Wilson

Is it business as usual or stop testing altogether? Who will take responsibility for Quality? What about all those enforced updates?

With 84% of us having a multi-cloud strategy and estimated growth in spend this year on the public cloud of 24% and private of 8%^*, this is a topic worthy of discussion.

How does that impact our approach to maintaining quality?

Can we take our hands off the wheel and rely on the vendor to test for us? Or does the increase in updates actually mean more testing and in a much shorter time window?

If like us, quality is a top priority for you, we’d appreciate your thoughts on how you would adapt, or have adapted your testing approach for key applications running in the cloud.

Spare us five minutes over this festive period and as a thank you we will make a contribution to the International Red Cross for each completed survey.

Results will be published in January but all participants have the option to access the results ahead of general release.
