An elastic compute cloud like Amazon EC2 provides the ability to scale up quickly with the number of application deployments because of increasing load. For performance testing, the cloud can be used the other way around: for temporary use of many load generating test clients to generate expected and peak loads for your application. This saves you from having to buy many servers to run the load generating clients and if you run these performance tests say only a couple of days in a release cycle, this can be an economically attractive solution. Quite some information is available how to test with various performance tools from the cloud. [...] [...] The emergence of cloud computing adds new possibilities for performance testing.
