IBM launches TDaaS (Test and Development as a Service) Beta!

All of the services related to this new test and development platform are available as REST interfaces and can be tooled for public, private or hybrid clouds. Though optimized for IBM’s own middleware products, the company claims it is willing to help customers integrate its development and test platform with best-of-breed stacks as well.

“Development teams are generally what we find to be the first users,” said Ashok Reddy, director of software delivery & security initiatives for IBM Rational. “Long running business apps on the cloud don’t get as much of a value as test and dev.”

Reddy said testing is popular on the public cloud because it can be challenging for developers to find enough machines inside their enterprise to test on, especially when test is a singular phase of the development cycle. The ability to handle the spikes in workload that testing creates is a common value proposition for on-demand compute resources. The public cloud is also popular for testing because testing does not expose source code like development itself.
