4. advantages
● Focus on test-automation = app coverage
(not setting up and maintaining grid)
● Sophisticated reports support bugtracking
● Usage fee versus fix costs
● Add browser/OS combo easily
5. challanges
● Delay with waiting for free node (rare case)
● Delay by latency (little: compared to
browser start/driving)
● Company politics (for WebApps
unproblematic, as test data shouldn't be
sensitive)
● Trust in foreign quality (THE issue about
cloud computing)
● Integration
6. For completeness ...

mature company yet (rising star?)
