Use DevOps methodologies
In a cloud application development environment, teams work in parallel instead of working independently of each other. 
Each team works on a different branches of an application or project, says Jason Bloomberg, president at Intellyx, a cloud computing consultancy.
That introduces a new set of challenges for integration testing, which Bloomberg says is addressed by adopting a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) approach. Traditionally, people think in waterfall terms for testing. “But in the cloud it’s a continuous test phase,” he says. “Whatever you are doing with the code involves testing, and more testing has to take place. The cloud native approach says we have to test all the time, in an inherently dynamic and ephemeral way.”
