As earliest the software defects uncovered and fixed in STLC, the lesser the amount required to fix it. With the advent of cloud computing a lot of new opportunities for business opens, especially in the field of software testing & maintenance. The cloud testing methodology is the set of techniques, tools and process to be followed while undergoing tests for cloud service. A new methodology is proposed to test the cloud which is known as SUPerB methodology, deals with cloud security, user acceptance, performance and business requirements. Successful implementation of SUPerB methodology for cloud testing might establish a strong foundation for an organization to lead in the market. Software vulnerabilities give rise to the cyber-crime and related risk associated with it just due to lapses in security policies, which increases the security breaches in the business. Efficiency of a system can be measured in terms of performance testing. While selecting a test tool, users must keep certain characteristics of cloud testing tool in consideration, like platform compatibility, available support, flexibility and service cost. It might be possible that an organization has to deal with a number of challenges while adopting cloud computing services.
