Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS)

What is Testing-as-a-Service?

Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS) is a cloud-based outsourced testing service that allows organizations to leverage software testing tools, resources, and expertise on demand, without having to heavily invest in internal testing infrastructure. TaaS service providers can perform a variety of tests on devices, platforms, and network environments.

How does Testing-as-a-Service work?

Testing-as-a-Service providers set up and conduct manual and automated cloud-based testing environments to determine proper functionality, compatibility, performance, regression, and security measures. Companies can access TaaS services through managed testing, in which a third-party vendor executes the entire testing process; on-demand testing , which allows companies to request services when they are needed; and crowd-sourced testing, which gathers together a large group of testers to perform large-scale testing.
