A New Framework of Software Testing Using Cloud Computing for Banking Applications

Abstract

In Recent years, Cloud Computing has considered as a potential technology in software industry as a resource base. Cloud Computing provides many advantages for organizations and companies to increase their profit in many fields and perspectives. One of these fields is Software Testing. In Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), software testing is considered as an essential activity that requires a lot of time and high resources expenses to be deployed in efficient way. Cloud computing can help to provide test environments, resources, software licenses, tools and infrastructure at an affordable budget without the need to build another on-premises infrastructure for testing purpose. This paper presents a new approach for using cloud computing testing methodology and an implementation of this approach to enhance the software testing process in Banking Industry. The paper proofs that cloud computing approach can reduce the operating and labour cost by 40-60% and decrease the required time by 30%. Saving time will minimize the effort needed to implement testing environment.
