Building successful apps is a continuous delivery and constant process, with focus on speed to market and evolution. This requires making successful decisions based on user behaviour and habits.

An important part of the application life cycle is the Testing phase whichvalidates and verifies whether your application confirms to the requirements and whether its built accordingly. You can create and run test plans, test suites and test cases in Team Web Access, or you can easily launch Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) to manage and run test cases. When you launch MTM, Team Web Access starts in the context of your team project, so there is no need to explicitly connect to your VSO Team Project.
The main objective of cloud based load testing is to test the capacity of a single server, uncover any serious performance issues, and identify opportunities to improve the capacity or performance of the service.

A static website doesn’t require server-side processing and depends only on client-side technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Dynamic Website
A dynamic website uses server-side processing to build pages that are customized to visitor requests. Dynamic websites require server-side technologies such as PHP, Java, or .NET.
The following Amazon Web Services are useful for building a dynamic website:
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2): Launches a virtual server that runs your web server and performs server-side processing. You can run your database on this server or on Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS).
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS): Provides block level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances. It provides a persistent file system for your virtual server, so that you can store data even if your virtual server is terminated.
Amazon CloudWatch: Monitoring, Collection and Reporting metrics on all your Amazon AWS resources.
Auto Scaling:Adds or removes virtual servers to handle peaks and lulls in traffic. It takes input from the CloudWatch service and provides an elastic cloud computing infrastructure that can grow and shrink to meet your needs.
