Cloud-based Performance Testing of Web Application

Performance testing is used for testing the risk to application and technology. It requires web server and database server within infrastructure. In this paper, we compared different scenarios which include onpremise, infrastructure partly and completely deployed on cloud. Specifically three scenarios we have compared are on-premises, database in cloud and web application with database in cloud. The objective of this comparison is to identify the applicability of these three scenarios to different contexts. The key parameters of performance measurement like response time and throughput have been captured and analyzed to meet the objective mentioned. It is an initial step to provide direction and basis for identifying appropriate use of cloud for web applications.
