It is the first and most important category also called the building block of a cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Platform as a Service (PaaS):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the second category of the cloud and also called as Application Platform as a Service or Platform Based Service. It helps customers to develop, run and manage applications without any interruption to OS and required middleware, etc.,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Software as a Service (SaaS):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Software as a Service also called On-demand software or Software plus services. It is the final category of cloud computing. Up to certain features, it is available for the free later user to need to pay and get full access. Examples are Windows OS, Adobe Photoshop, etc.,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/w3softech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cloud-Testing-Types-Blog-W3Softech-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"Cloud-Testing-Types-Blog-W3Softech\" class=\"wp-image-180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/w3softech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cloud-Testing-Types-Blog-W3Softech-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/w3softech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cloud-Testing-Types-Blog-W3Softech-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/w3softech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cloud-Testing-Types-Blog-W3Softech-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/w3softech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Cloud-Testing-Types-Blog-W3Softech.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Cloud Testing Types<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Cloud Testing:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud Testing works on both <a href=\"https:\/\/w3softech.com\/blog\/functional-testing\/\">Functional Testing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/w3softech.com\/blog\/non-functional-testing\/\">Non-Functional Testing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">System Testing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Under given system requirements, system testing will perform testing to check all the functions of the application are working correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interoperability Testing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This testing determines the flexibility and compatibility of the application while changing from one infrastructure to other<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acceptance Testing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It is the final stage of testing under functional testing to\nensure that it meets the user expectations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability Testing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here the admin has to make sure that the cloud is available\nalways as there may be sudden functions are going on which do not interrupt the\nuser activity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Tenancy Testing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows that the application should perform correctly while multiple users are trying to access the application at an instant time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Performance Testing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Performance Testing (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Software_performance_testing\" target=\"_blank\">Performance Testing<\/a> is of two types Load Testing and Stress Testing. It ensures that the application must accept the load and stress from N no. of user requests. To perform well the cloud need to have <g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">elasticity<\/g> which increases the usage as required<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Security Testing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It helps to check the security of the cloud. Authorized users will only access this with data protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Disaster Recovery Testing:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As the data is available in cloud servers sometimes there\nmay be a cause of system failure, data loss or extreme workload.
