Cloud testing is a form of software testing in which web applications that use cloud computing environments (a "cloud") seek to simulate real-world user traffic as a means of load testing and stress testing web sites. The ability and cost to simulate web traffic for software testing purposes has been an inhibitor to overall web reliability. The low cost and accessibility of the cloud's extremely large computing resources provides the ability to replicate real world usage of these systems by geographically distributed users, executing wide varieties of user scenarios, at scales previously unattainable in traditional testing environments.
