Beyond providing the actual Cloud Testing itself, SOASTA is proving itself as an industry leader by expanding its website knowledge base every day. Along with the active online community and webinars, SOASTA also offers downloadable white papers on a variety of topics related to the CloudTest arena. These are valuable resources that provide clear and concise insight for any business that is developing mobile applications. Simply put: without CloudTest, there is no guarantee of success.One of the most popular white paper downloads offered by SOASTA is their Cloud Testing Bill of Rights. This particular white paper was written by Scott Barber, a leader in the software system performance and testing realm. In the paper, Barber discusses the rights of a business to "organize and champion change within your IT or development group." The result is to encourage people to "see the Cloud Testing Bill of Rights as a series of revisions to commonly accepted software development practices and encourages citizens of the nation of software development to use the freedom of expanded options and pursue betterment of their current situation."
8 Common Myths About Performance Testing in Production is another SOASTA white paper that is helping businesses understand the entire testing process. "Testing your application in the production environment uncovers performance issues at scale that simply don't exist in more limited lab tests. Despite its clear advantages, a surprising number of companies fail to performance test their applications this way. This is due, in part, to misconceptions or myths about production testing that keep companies from even exploring the possibilities." By myth busting, this paper attempts to illuminate people in the business world towards a better understanding.
There are many other white papers offered for download on the SOASTA website, featuring titles such as Stop Cheating White Paper, Strategies for Seasonal Readiness and Cloud Testing Production Applications. Readers are encouraged to save these papers and continue the discussion on the SOASTA forums.
