Overview :

Infosys Cloud Infrastructure Validation (ICIV), a part of Infosys Cobalt is a platform that helps conduct Azure cloud readiness and non-functional validation for an Azure cloud platform build using open-source technology and pre-configured templates. ICIV is a cloud native solution on Azure and provides a non intrusive medium for validation of Azure cloud platform.

It is a Plug and Play Solution with Azure & a cost effective solution to perform automated testing of Cloud. The platform is a collection of various tools and enablers under one umbrella to validate Azure cloud platform for readiness check, monitoring, Cloud security, AI based trend and predictions.

The current version of the platform includes a module – Cloud Configuration Validation which is used to perform Azure cloud readiness check. It can validate the current state of an Azure cloud infrastructure against a desired state configuration in Azure cloud deployment architecture. It performs Azure platform readiness, Azure cloud server build validation and adherence to requirement specifications. The solution can also be integrated with a DevOps pipeline like Azure DevOps for ensuring Continuous validation of builds

The future version of the platform will have other modules for Azure such as Security, Monitoring, Network Vulnerability, Resiliency & Performance

Key Features :

• Platform Readiness validation - Pre-configured template on Azure to capture and validate desired configuration parameters
• Cloud Server build validation - Enables concurrent execution of test suites
• Adherence to requirement specifications - Maintain execution history
• Create test suite at the cloud service level with test scenarios to validate service parameters - View report for each test suite’s execution

Benefits :

• Reduce Test cycle time by 80% using the prebuilt templates and optimize cost by 20%
• 90% Effort reduction in compilation of test reports using the dashboard, Test Management Services (TMS) integration and downloadable reports
• ~50% Early defect detection (before System Integration Testing) & up to 30% person-hours effort reduction in large programs
• ~30% Faster cloud adoption
