In today’s era, service development demand is increasing day by day.Client’s ever changing requirements made agile methodology to come into existence due to fasten production, flexibility and improved quality.Moreover, it can accommodate changes and provide instant feedbacks and transparent communication. Due to geographic distribution of team members and client, leading IT companies thought to strengthen the agile methodology by giving the user access to an environment that can be accessed worldwide i.e. CLOUD. This combination of agile and cloud has a positive impact on IT companies. For achieving Quality, we need to test all functionality so in our work we emphasis on testing assimilation using cloud services in agile environment. Cloud team members can perform testing easily using Test-as-a-Service without increasing the cost of the project and get the results faster. We can also use agile management tools to reduce the problem of communication and for all the updates in the product backlog as well as Sprint backlog lists.
