Cloud computing has the potential to deliver enterprise software with increased flexibility and lower cost-of-entry. The Cloud provides benefits for development environments and test labs as well, increasing our options in how IT assets are provisioned to help teams across the software development and testing lifecycle. This paper covers the benefits and risks of leveraging Cloud Computing in enterprise software development and testing environments. It will also address how virtualization techniques and responsible test and validation practices throughout the application delivery lifecycle can mitigate risks and enable more agile software delivery and cost savings. |
