Market Trends of Cloud Testing Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Cloud Testing Market according to our research experts:
Websites and Applications Load Testing Boosting IT and Telecom End-user Industry
- With the help of cloud testing, IT & telecom organizations can gain quick feedback on the mainframe, and supercharge innovation without having the risk of bottlenecks that disrupt operations, hinder customer experiences or impact enterprise’s revenues. The enterprises can improve quality, velocity, and efficiency on the mainframe while lowering the problems of the shortage of experienced developers.
- At the end of 2018, Microsoft stated that Visual Studio 2019 is the last version with load testing features. A few months later they formally announced that Azure load testing is closing down on March 31st, 2020. Following the announcement, a large number of users, who were doing performance testing with Visual Studio or Azure DevOps, have been asking questions about many company’s load testing platform. K6.io has launched k6 OSS and k6 Cloud as a solution of the problem. The user can install k6 and start running performance tests in their machine for free. By default, k6 prints the result of the test to the console. The company also provide k6 Cloud load testing service as a complement to the open-source k6 tool, which will further improving their experience.
- In October 2020, AWS has introduced distributed load testing v1.1. The Distributed Load Testing on AWS helps the user easily simulate thousands of users connecting to their application so that users can better understand the application performance under load. The solution launches and configures containers on AWS Fargate to generate a specified number of transactions per second without having to provision servers.
- For the past two years, telecom companies have been onboarding network service providers to ensure the robust delivery of services. For instance, in March 2020, Ericsson was chosen by NTT DOCOMO as the AI-powered optimization solution supplier for its radio access network (RAN). Ericsson’s solution maximizes end-user experience in service provider’s networks while minimizing their total cost of ownership. The increasing adoption of such AI-enabled solutions for the development of the systems and networks boosts the growth of performance and load testing solutions in the telecom sector.
