In the past decade, the Cloud, as it is called, has gone from an obscure geeky oddity to an all-encompassing global computing phenomenon. The Cloud can be said to be many things. In general what is said to be the “Cloud” refers to distributed hardware or other such shared resources all easily managed from anywhere through the internet. The Cloud has opened up immense possibilities for businesses as they don’t need to “own” anything anymore.

• All services are now available “as a Service (aaS)” over the cloud (internet).
• The cloud allows immensely scalable, flexible and collaborative services.
• A lot of testing and QA services tools are now deployed on the Cloud as they allow for great ease and flexibility of operations.
