Migrating applications to the cloud offers significant benefits from greater availability and security to improved cost-effectiveness. Cloud migration can help achieve objectives around improving the customer experience, delivering omnichannel experiences, and increasing operational efficiency. But the migration process can also cause enormous challenges for the functionality, performance, and security of business-critical applications. That’s why software testing is such an important part of any cloud migration strategy.
When migrating applications to the cloud, huge volumes of data must be moved from one system to another, introducing a great deal of risk into the process. Any small mistake during migration can cause data to be corrupted or go missing. Application components may be migrated to the wrong location, causing applications to break. After migration, software in the cloud may not be compatible with other applications, and integrations with third-party solutions may not function. As a result, servers may fail, systems may go down, and database errors may cause business disruption.
To ensure a smooth cloud migration, software testing is essential to ensure that the applications that have been moved to the cloud are in the right place and that they work as intended.
After a cloud migration, the following tests can help ensure a functional, stable, and secure environment.
Testing after a cloud migration offers several significant benefits.

Tricentis supports continuous integration and continuous delivery by accelerating and managing all phases of testing – from unit tests and performance tests to end-to-end testing, black box testing, and white box testing. The Tricentis platform includes solutions for:
Cloud migration is the process of moving data, applications, or other business assets to a cloud computing environment. By moving software to the cloud, organizations can reduce cost, increase performance, enhance security, and make applications more available.
Cloud migration testing is the process of testing and validating applications after they’ve been moved to a cloud environment. Migrating applications can be a complex and time-consuming task, and any errors in the process can degrade application performance or cause applications not to work as intended.
Testing applications after migration can help ensure that applications still function as intended and that performance is acceptable. Testing can also help to pinpoint security vulnerabilities and ensure that any integrations with third-party applications continue to work.
