Cloud testing: TestComplete / Execute available in MS Azure VM directory?

Testing in the cloud is increasing popularity. Ideal situation would be if there would be a pre-setup VM with TestExecute (or TestComplete in trial mode) available in the MS Azure VM (others as well like AWS, Google Cloud Computing) directory so that endusers can use these instances without needing to install/manage TestExecute on each machine.

Could be used both for trial (a lot of organisations are migrating to the cloud) and for paying customers as well.

 

As you can see HP is already offering these services:

 

I think Smartbear TestComplete/TestExecute should follow this as well...

 

Possible scenario:

 

1. Tester uses TestComplete to design tests; And uses the hosts/jobs/tasks options in Network Suite to run tests in Azure (in this case);

2. In Network Suite option, the tester defines the IP address/username to connect to the Azure VM;

3. During test execution the Azure VM is being called, started up, tests are run, results are sent to testers TestComplete system, VM is shut down;

 

This could also be used with trial editions of TestComplete/ TestExecute

 

What do you think?
