IT Services firm Atos Origin has launched IT testing services offering on the cloud — Test & Acceptance Management Services.

The new cloud-based offering provides clients a flexible way to manage their testing requirements so they can move their IT projects, from development phase to production, the firm said.

The offering covers the whole software development cycle on a pay-per-use model designed by the company using the IBM integrated Rational Jazz toolset.

Atos Origin senior vice-president Francois Gruau said as a longstanding partner of IBM, they are delighted to use the integrated toolset – IBM Rational – to offer IT testing services in the cloud.

"Testing in the cloud is flexible, cost efficient and fast, helping clients to get services and products to market more quickly," Gruau said.

The company said that the new service enhances its Test & Acceptance Management Service Catalogue and can be used together with other services from Atos Origin’s Test & Acceptance Management Service Catalogue or on its own.
