Software Testing Checklist: What Belongs on It, Phase by Phase

Cloud Security Testing for
AWS, Azure and SaaS Platforms
Validate that your SaaS handles tenant load, preserves data boundaries, and maintains peak performance. Vervali tests cloud workloads on AWS, Azure and multi-tenant SaaS for misconfigurations, over-permissive identities and exploitable exposure, inside written rules of engagement. You get a risk-ranked report and a retest once the fixes are in.

Configuration, Identity and Cloud Penetration Testing
We test your cloud the way an attacker would, then retest after the fix, across the accounts you put in scope.
Cloud Vulnerability Assessment
Insecure APIs, misconfigurations and access control issues found and ranked by what an attacker could actually use.
Identity and Permission Review
IAM roles, policies and keys checked for excess privilege, stale access and paths to escalate.
Cloud Penetration Testing
Controlled attacks on in-scope workloads, inside written limits. Full product VAPT runs through penetration testing.
Configuration and Compliance Audit
Setup checked against PCI DSS, HIPAA or SOC 2 readiness. Evidence packs come from cloud security and compliance.
One open bucket can undo a year of secure releases.
Free Exposure CheckWhat a Cloud Security Test Finds
The gaps that appear quietly as accounts, services and teams grow.
Over-Permissive Roles
Service accounts and users with far more access than their job needs, often left from an old project.
Public Storage and Snapshots
Buckets, blobs and backups readable from the internet because one setting was missed.
Exposed Management Endpoints
Admin consoles, databases and APIs reachable from outside when they should sit behind a private network.
Tenant Data Leaks
SaaS boundaries that let one customer see or affect another customer's data under the right request.
When to Test
Cloud estates change weekly, so one annual test leaves long gaps.
Every Quarter
A quarterly cycle catches drift from new services, new teams and rushed changes before it becomes an incident, and keeps your risk picture current for leadership.
After Architecture Changes
New regions, accounts, networks or tenancy models change the attack surface. Test after the change, ideally wired into the pipeline our DevOps consulting team builds.
Before Audits and Launches
Test ahead of a SOC 2 readiness review, a PCI assessment or a major customer launch, so findings are fixed and retested before anyone outside the company looks.
Security Testing or Compliance Evidence
Testing finds and proves the gaps. Compliance work turns the results into evidence an auditor accepts.
Choose Cloud Security Testing When
You want configuration, identity and workload testing with a risk-ranked report and a retest. For day-to-day operations after the fixes, pair it with managed cloud services.
Choose Compliance Evidence When
You need dated evidence for HIPAA, PCI DSS or SOC 2 readiness. That is our cloud security and compliance engagement. We test for readiness, while certification stays with your auditor.
Case Studies
Security engagements where risk-ranked findings and retests turned scanner noise into closed gaps.
Bank · VAPT and audit evidence
Before: vulnerability noise was burying the work that mattered, fixes took over 40 days and audit preparation took five days. After: 68% less vulnerability noise, time to fix under 16 days, audit preparation down from 5 days to 5 hours, and high-risk findings closed 3.5 times faster.

Infrastructure VAPT across the exposed surface of a digital recharge and payments platform, with findings retested after remediation.
Cybersecurity SaaS
DDoS simulation on a cybersecurity SaaS product, testing how the estate fails and what it takes to absorb the attack.
Fintech Platform
API and network exposure testing on a fintech platform, with risk-ranked findings for the engineering team.
SaaS Gaming
End-to-end security testing across the agreed in-scope product of a SaaS gaming platform, with a retest after fixes.
How a Cloud Security Test Starts
From written permission to a closed retest, 9am to 1pm Eastern with delivery from India.
-
01
Agree the Scope
We list the in-scope accounts, workloads and tenants, and sign written rules of engagement.
-
02
Free Exposure Check
We look at one environment from the outside and show what an attacker would see first.
-
03
Test the Cloud
Configuration, identity and penetration testing, with controlled exploitation inside agreed limits.
-
04
Report and Retest
You get a risk-ranked report, fix the gaps, and we retest to confirm they are closed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cloud testing checks how applications and infrastructure behave in the cloud, covering load, failover, configuration and security. Cloud security testing focuses on the last two: misconfigurations, identity and permission gaps, and exploitable exposure in AWS, Azure and SaaS workloads. Each engagement ends with a risk-ranked report and a retest after fixes, starting with a free exposure check.
The names buyers usually mean are AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, followed by Oracle Cloud and IBM Cloud. Each has its own identity model, storage controls and default settings, which is why misconfigurations differ by provider. We test AWS and Azure most often, and include Google Cloud when it is already part of your estate.
Common tools include ScoutSuite and Prowler for configuration review, cloud-native services such as AWS Security Hub and Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Burp Suite for exposed APIs. Tools only flag candidates. A good service has a person confirm each finding, rank it by real risk and retest after the fix, which is how every engagement here works.
UAT is led by business users, so teams usually track scenarios and sign-off in tools such as Jira, TestRail or Azure Test Plans. It confirms the product does what the business needs, while security testing confirms an attacker cannot misuse it. Both matter before launch, and we run cloud security testing ahead of UAT so users test a hardened build.
A DevOps consultant designs how code is built, tested and released, including pipelines, infrastructure as code and the checks that run before production. Security belongs in that pipeline too. Our DevOps consulting team builds the pipeline, while cloud security testing checks the accounts and workloads it deploys to, so new releases do not reopen old gaps.
No. AI can draft pipeline files and widen security scans, but people still own releases, access rules and the decision to roll back. The same holds for cloud security: AI can flag more candidates, while a tester confirms each finding, stays inside the agreed scope and retests the fix. We use AI where it saves time, with engineers accountable.
Yes. Teams still need reliable pipelines, infrastructure as code and secure cloud accounts, and demand for DevSecOps skills that combine the two keeps growing. Vervali tests cloud configuration, identity and workloads on AWS and Azure, working 9am to 1pm Eastern with delivery from India, and our DevOps team builds the pipelines those workloads run on.
The 7 Cs usually listed are continuous development, integration, testing, deployment, feedback, monitoring and operations. Continuous testing is where cloud security fits best: configuration and identity checks that run as part of the pipeline, backed by periodic penetration tests and retests. That combination catches drift early without waiting for an annual audit to find it.
