Cloud software testing

Your app works perfectly on your laptop. Then you deploy it to the cloud and... chaos. Welcome to the reality of modern software development. Everything's moving to the cloud, but most testers are still stuck thinking like it's 2010. Meanwhile, your users are experiencing slow load times, crashes during peak traffic, and bugs that only show up when thousands of people hit your app simultaneously. Here's the thing: traditional testing just doesn't cut it anymore when your application lives in the cloud and serves users across the globe. This course bridges that gap. We're diving deep into cloud testing strategies that actually work in the real world. You'll learn how to simulate genuine user traffic, stress-test your applications under realistic conditions, and catch performance issues before your users do. We'll start with the fundamentals - what cloud computing really means beyond the marketing buzzwords, the different deployment models you'll encounter, and why each one matters for testing. Then we get practical: different types of cloud testing, when to use each method, and how to set up testing environments that mirror your production setup. You'll understand both the incredible benefits of cloud testing (like scalability and cost-effectiveness) and its limitations (because every approach has trade-offs, and smart testers know them all).
