By nature, QA infrastructures are more fluid than production infrastructures. New environments need to be quickly brought up, torn down, and revamped on a regular basis to meet the needs of the QA organization. Those in the systems administrator’s role must be able to respond quickly and deliver reliable test environments.  This session explores virtualization, automation concepts, tools, and scripts that can help a systems administrator build a responsive infrastructure for their QA organization.

Cloud testing offers several advantages over traditional testing. It shifts the burden of installing, configuring, maintaining, and updating testing tools to the vendor. It also lessens or eliminates the need to build and maintain servers to support testing functions. Testing through the cloud expands the reach of testing across geographical locations. With all these benefits come some additional challenges. Andrew Pollner provides insights on when cloud testing makes sense, how to best manage such an environment, and where a hybrid solution can benefit you.
