Quality in the Cloud: The new Role of TestOps

Tuesday March 13th 2012 8am 4 0 Comments Test and QA Cloud Software Test Professionals Conference
The term "TestOps" is a new one, but it encapsulates a new way of thinking about how we test and ensure quality of cloud services. It is a portmanteau of "Test" and "Ops", so let's start with "Test", a term I expect this readership to know all about but will briefly define here for clarity. When we test we apply a series of actions on the system and check for respective expected results, so as to assess the soundness of the system for use by our customers -- or looked at the other way, the risk of exposing the system to end users.
