What Is Cloud Testing and How Does It Work?
Cloud testing is the practice of running software tests on cloud-based infrastructure instead of local hardware. It allows teams to test applications across multiple browsers, devices, and operating systems simultaneously – without maintaining an in-house device lab. At TestUnity, we provide end-to-end cloud testing services on AWS, Azure, and OpenStack to help you scale testing, reduce infrastructure costs, and accelerate release cycles.
