Getting performance right, particularly at web-scale, requires a level of passion that results in both a view of the big picture and an attention to detail. We{\textquoteright}ll describe how to use the scale of the cloud to gain confidence when deploying sites servicing potentially massive amounts of web traffic. We{\textquoteright}ll start by describing what we mean by the cloud in order to set context. We{\textquoteright}ll then describe the components that comprise SOASTA{\textquoteright}s CloudTest and focus on how we deliver the offering to the market, including a look at the key tenets of the cloud testing methodology based on SOASTA{\textquoteright}s experiences. }, issn = {1913-6102}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/343}, author = {Tom Lounibos} }
