Literature Review
Introduction
Testing is one of the essential activities that shall be carried out in a project. There are
different forms of testing types and methods that are followed to accomplish the testing
process. With the development of technology, there are newer testing techniques, tools, and
methods that have been introduced. A literature review of some of these advanced
mechanisms is included in the report.
Cloud-based Testing
Cloud-based testing provides the capability to carry out the testing activities in multiple
environments without the requirement of setting up an infrastructure for the same. There are
benefits provided with the inclusion of cloud-based testing processes, such as low costs,
enhanced scalability, and ease of availability. Cloud-based testing refers to the evaluation
methodology in which cloud computing environment, such as Software as a Service (SaaS)
model is used to test the applications. Elasticity and scalability testing, security testing,
performance testing, live upgrade testing, stress testing, latency testing, compatibility testing,
functional testing, and browser performance can be carried out on the cloud. Some of the
popular cloud-based testing tools include SOASTA, ITKO LISA, Load Runner, Blitz, and
Blaze Meter. There are a few challenges that are associated with the cloud-based testing
methods. There are security concerns associated with cloud in terms of information security
and privacy attacks. Integration and interoperability of the applications over the cloud is also
one of the major concerns that may impact the test execution and results (Nachiyappan &
Justus, 2015).
Mobile Testing
Mobile testing is a process in which the applications and programs that are developed for
mobile devices are verified and validated. There are different types of testing activities
carried out under the domain of mobile testing. Mobile functions and behaviour testing is
conducted to validate the functionalities and the behaviour of the device and the applications
under different scenarios. Mobile QoS testing is done to test the system qualities, such as
reliability, scalability, and availability (Zein, Salleh & Grundy, 2016). Cross-use functionality
is of utmost relevance in the current times and it is tested through interoperability
(compatibility) testing. There are mobile users that may belong to different cultural
