Document Overview
This guide provides comprehensive instructions for deploying Testingaide in your environment with seamless network connectivity to the organization's infrastructure. This deployment model provides you with the benefits of a fully managed, secure platform while enabling direct integration with existing development and testing workflows.
Our proposed solution delivers enterprise-grade security and compliance through our dedicated cloud infrastructure, eliminating the complexity and overhead of managing cloud resources within the environment. Through secure network connectivity options including VPN tunnels, API integrations, and dedicated network links, your Quality assurance teams will experience seamless access to TestingAIde.
The hosting approach ensures higher uptime through our multi-availability zone architecture while providing full compliance with GDPR and UK Data Protection Act 2018 requirements. Our SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 certified operations guarantee enterprise-grade security and operational excellence, allowing organizations to focus on testing innovation rather than infrastructure management.
Deployment Architecture
TestingAIde is designed to be deployed in a flexible and secure manner, with a preferred approach of deployment within the client’s cloud environment—preferably on AWS—for optimal data control and integration with existing infrastructure. Alternatively, deployment within CloudAngles’ dedicated and enterprise-grade cloud environment is also supported, leveraging a secure, managed infrastructure spanning multiple AWS regions. This model provides production readiness while minimizing the overhead of infrastructure setup and maintenance.
Our multi-zone availability architecture ensures high availability and effective disaster recovery, with both primary and secondary zones distributed across the UK region at significant distances to maintain redundancy and enable seamless failover.
This geographic distribution provides robust protection against regional outages while ensuring that your data remains within appropriate jurisdictions for compliance purposes. DNS failover management through our dedicated Route 53 implementation continuously monitors service health and automatically redirects traffic to healthy endpoints, ensuring seamless operation even during maintenance or unexpected events.
The infrastructure utilizes dedicated Virtual Private Clouds that create secure network boundaries while maintaining complete isolation from other customers. The TestingAIde instance operates within its own dedicated network space, ensuring that the testing data and workflows remain separate from other organizations. All internal communications utilize TLS 1.3 encryption, while our network architecture implements defense-in-depth security principles with multiple layers of protection.
Load balancing and auto-scaling capabilities ensure that testing workloads receive optimal performance regardless of demand fluctuations. Auto Scaling Groups automatically adjust capacity based on actual usage patterns, ensuring consistent performance during peak testing periods while optimizing resource utilization during lighter usage.
Network Connectivity and Integration Options
Seamless integration with existing development and testing infrastructure is achieved through multiple secure connectivity options designed to meet various security and operational requirements. We support two primary connectivity models that can be implemented individually or in combination to create the optimal integration architecture for your organization. Your organization will be responsible for providing the necessary infrastructure and services to establish these secure connections to our platform.
Secure VPN Connectivity - provides encrypted tunnel access between your corporate network and the TestingAIde platform, enabling your quality assurance teams to access testing services as if they were hosted within your own infrastructure. This approach requires your organization to provide and maintain VPN gateway infrastructure capable of establishing IPsec tunnels with our platform endpoints. We support both site-to-site VPN connections for organizational-wide access and individual VPN connections for specific development teams or projects.
Secure VPN Connectivity Architecture
Your IT team will need to configure and maintain VPN concentrators, firewall rules, and routing policies that enable secure communication between the networks and our platform. VPN connectivity ensures that all communication remains encrypted and travels over private network paths, meeting stringent security requirements while providing transparent access to TestingAIde services.
Dedicated Network Links provide the highest level of security and performance for organizations requiring dedicated bandwidth and complete network isolation. This option requires your organization to procure and maintain dedicated network connectivity services such as AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, or similar carrier-provided dedicated links between your data centers and our cloud environment.
Dedicated Network Architecture for Secure and Isolated Connectivity
Your organization will be responsible for coordinating with telecommunications providers, managing circuit provisioning, and maintaining the dedicated network infrastructure that creates private network paths to our platform. This approach eliminates internet transit and provides predictable network performance for testing workloads, making it particularly valuable for organizations with large test suites or sensitive testing data requiring maximum security.
Enterprise Security and Identity Integration
Security integration with your existing identity infrastructure ensures that TestingAIde access controls align seamlessly with your organizational security policies and user management processes. Single Sign-On integration supports major enterprise identity providers including Active Directory, Azure AD, enabling users to access TestingAIde using their existing corporate credentials.
Role-Based Access Control implementation maps your organizational roles and responsibilities to appropriate TestingAIde permissions, ensuring that each user receives access only to the testing capabilities and data relevant to their responsibilities. Administrative controls enable IT teams to manage user access, configure permissions, and monitor usage through familiar identity management interfaces, maintaining consistency with your existing access governance processes.
Multi-Factor Authentication requirements can be configured to align with your organization's security policies, whether requiring MFA for all users, administrative users only, or based on access patterns and risk assessments. Integration with the existing MFA solutions ensures consistent user experience while maintaining security standards across all systems.
