Providers of cloud-based testing services and tools offer testing environments that can be configured according to an application’s requirements. They provide cloud-based testing labs, services for managing these labs, service virtualization, on-demand testing tools, and device clouds. A wide range of cloud testing solutions coupled with simple procedures for adopting testing tools is leading to cloud-based QA becoming more and more widespread.
