Virtual and Cloud Testing
Integration of virtual and physical environments
The technologies associated with virtual and cloud environments are evolving rapidly. Various cloud models—including public, private, and hybrid clouds—have emerged, allowing companies to select and build the optimal infrastructure to satisfy their needs. This has enhanced the scalability and cost efficiency of the IT infrastructure, while also reducing the operational burden. In addition, integration with AI and IoT is also advancing the automation of infrastructure system management and testing. Furthermore, the installation of virtual and cloud environments is expanding in research, development, and manufacturing in the fields of semiconductors, devices, finished products, and networks. This is expected to significantly improve the speed and flexibility of research and development.

Beyond "It Should Work": Rethinking Pre-Deployment PoC in the Cloud Era
Why do systems that pass a PoC sometimes fail in production?
In cloud and virtualized environments, performance issues such as latency, jitter, and resource contention often emerge only after deployment due to dynamic workloads and shared infrastructure. This white paper explains why—and how to evaluate production behavior before go-live.
