Webinar: Testing in the Cloud - Realistic Performance, Load and Stress Testing

Owing to its benefits ranging from reductions in cost of ownership to location independence and its profound impact on IT and business, firms embrace this concept. As per Gartner’s prediction, by 2012, 80 percent of Fortune 1000 enterprises will pay for some cloud-computing service, while 30 percent of them will pay for cloud-computing infrastructure.
