Certified Cloud Tester - Foundation Level (CCTFL)

Exam Code: CCTFL-001

Cloud Testing uses cloud infrastructure for software testing. Organizations pursuing testing in general and load, performance testing and production service monitoring in particular are challenged by several problems like limited test budget, meeting deadlines, high costs per test, large number of test cases, and little or no reuse of tests and geographical distribution of users add to the challenges. Moreover ensuring high quality service delivery and avoiding outages requires testing in one's datacenter, outside the data-center, or both. Cloud Testing is the solution to all these problems. Effective unlimited storage, quick availability of the infrastructure with scalability, flexibility and availability of distributed testing environment reduce the execution time of testing of large applications and lead to cost-effective solutions.

Cloud computing raises important questions for testers, such as:

What can reasonably be tested?
Where should we focus testing efforts?
Which testing techniques and tools are most effective?
Which risks can testing help reduce? ..
