Cloud Performance Testing - By RadhaKrishna Prasad

Cloud computing, a new era's software resources which are shared among the different host. Virtualization and cloud have removed the dependency of local servers. Application, storage and other services are easily deployed on the cloud and can be accessed via Web. Since technology has been changed, so definitely it impacts the other traditional method of development and testing.

RadhaKrishna Prasad had written an informative and to-the-point article on cloud performance testing in which he described cloud, cloud performance testing approach and one case study. So, refer the link to get more details on cloud performance testing.
