Cloud Migration Assurance – COTS Migration Challenges
Assume you’re building a website, an application, or software, and you don’t want to build everything yourself for a variety
of reasons – you’re short on time; you don’t want to code the tedious sections, and so on.
So you have the choice of purchasing some elements of the software that you will use in it, such as the login, sign up, and
other pages, and here comes the COTS-commercially –off –the –shelf software. This is primarily used in businesses to
expedite projects and eliminate overlapping activities.
Key Drivers for Enterprises Migrating COTS to the Cloud
Design: Identify compatible cloud services, components, and target architecture blueprints for each of the application,
data, and integration layers, as well as the required migration tools and processes to complete migration and infrastructure
capacity and availability requirements.
Migrate: Execute agile-based migrations according to design specifications, starting with data, integrating with on-premise
systems, and performing end-to-end testing, including performance and security testing, in a non-production environment
first to assure minimal functional impact.

Cloud Migration Assurance – COTS Migration Challenges
Cloud Migration Assurance – How Does it Matter?
Many enterprises have found that migrating to the cloud has been a transformative step, but it is complex and involves
risks to applications unless rigorous end-to-end, cloud-specific testing is undertaken.
Enterprises confine their testing strategy to application-level regression analysis, which is insufficient to assure that apps,
data, and servers are completely functional and secure following migration.
At Cigniti, we help you provide fast, secure, and smooth cloud migration assurance (CMA) services for mainstream
applications with certified cloud professionals. A deep understanding of large-scale migration projects allows Cigniti to
propose an optimal test strategy based on the migration methodologies being followed.
