Serverless testing has many hidden challenges and these include the technology’s newness, renounced control, multi-tenancy & resource limits, testing challenges, startup time, and vendor lock- in among others.

2. Organizations with certain application requirements can benefit
greatly from serverless technologies with devops automation tools
in order to reduce their infrastructure management complexity.
An application can be created by throwing code at the cloud.
Although serverless apps have benefits, they also have
consequences.

3. Having no infrastructure to manage is both a good and a bad
thing about going server less. There won't be a machine from
which admins can retrieve logs if there is no native infrastructure.
Thus, a sysadmin cannot provide you with the logs when you
discover an application problem. None exist.

5. Coverage is an important metric that helps testers determine the
completeness of the testing effort. In order for coverage to work
and be accurate, you need to execute the coverage instrumentation
framework inside SAM. In the early days of serverless, you needed
a serious amount of duct tape to get everything to work together,
or you had to make compromises surrounding your runtime
environment.

Due to this, both QA Testing Team and developers require limited
access to the cloud console. Consoles are no longer the exclusive
domain of cloud architects or administrators. Test serverless
applications with a practical approach, which is best understood by
diving into the details of a theoretical application.

7. Businesses including vendors
must skillfully craft their
serverless apps for
considering these challenges.
This should facilitate
harnessing the immense
capabilities of serverless
architecture while minimizing
the inherent challenges of
serverless offerings.
