Bo lstered by inexpensive\, available platforms\, tools and support\, more and more business are seeing the advantages and moving applications to & quot\;cloud” environments. As this transformation takes place\, how does it change the way QA / Testing professionals approach verifying and val idating that applications meet functional and non-functional requirement s? What should QA be looking for in terms of performance\, integration a nd security? What kinds and amount of testing will vendors be looking fo r before they accept an application into their environment? How much and what kind of testing will the hosting vendor perform before they allow an application to go "\;live”. \;\n \;\nIn this event a panel of experts from different companies focusing on cloud applications\, wil l provide their perspectives and discuss questions and views posed by th e attendees.
