Why Testsigma for cloud automation testing?
Cloud testing, in simple terms, means testing software applications using the resources provided by the cloud. Resources can be any element i.e., hardware, software, or infrastructure which are necessary to carry out tests. Cloud testing helps an organization gain competitiveness by reducing the cost of testing.
By using cloud computing services for testing, organizations or businesses can shorten the provisioning time. This is due to the fact that the cloud enables the provisioning of test servers on demand. This also ensures unused servers are not sitting idle.
When the cloud is used for automation testing of an application, it is called cloud automation testing. In this article, we will discuss what features make Testsigma a recommended tool for cloud automation testing.

Why Testsigma for cloud automation testing?
Now, let’s go through the feature that makes Testsigma a recommended tool for cloud automation testing.
1. All components essential for test automation are available on the cloud
Testsigma is completely cloud-based. Users can automate, debug and execute test cases for their websites as well as mobile from the same place. Since everything is available on the cloud, time to set up is almost negligible.
In simple terms, all the components required by the user for test automation are available on the cloud-like the below:
i. Automate test cases on cloud
Testsigma uses natural language for writing automated tests and hence anyone can start writing them with zero or less coding skills. Testsigma has multiple supporting features to ensure that the tests are stable, fast and reliable. And the tests only break when there is a bug in the code.
ii. Automate your test cases for web, mobile as well as APIs from the same place
With Testsigma, the test automation for web, mobile and APIs happens from the same place and with the same ease and efficiency.
