SOASTA Partners with OpTier to Help Bridge the Gaps in the Application Delivery Chain
Leading Solution Puts Dev, QA, Test and IT Operations on the Same Page for Web, Cloud and Mobile Application Performance
(New York, NY, and Mountain View, CA) – February 1, 2012 - OpTier, the leader in business transaction-driven application performance management, and SOASTA, the leader in cloud testing, today announced a partnership to deliver a superior solution that aligns Dev, QA, Test and operations to ensure the performance of cloud, web, and mobile applications. OpTier and SOASTA’s actionable intelligence allows for effective communication and collaboration across the application delivery chain – putting rapid problem identification, isolation and resolution into these traditionally siloed organizations. The joint solution helps clients create accurate cloud tests, compare load test scenarios and manage the performance of critical applications using a business transaction-driven approach.
Leveraging both OpTier’s open BTM (Business Transaction Management) platform and SOASTA’s testing platform, customers can now view relevant, real-time data, from production and QA, in a single dashboard. Underlying this visualization is OpTier’s critical business transaction and application performance information that is always-on, assuring relevant intelligence that matters to QA and production managers is always up-to-date and accurate.
The SOASTA CloudTest® platform is the world’s largest platform for the performance of Web and mobile application testing at scale. Available in a range of options, from the free CloudTest Lite to fully managed On-Demand services, CloudTest’s patented visual test creation, automated test server provisioning, and real-time analytics allow testing teams to execute performance tests with unparalleled speed and agility, whether testing internally or on the cloud.
OpTier’s open BTM platform is cloud-ready out of the box with the ability to help clients assess, migrate and operate applications in the cloud. This includes a living topology that reflects always up-to-date application dependencies including those in hybrid cloud. Moreover, clients gain a comparison view to analyze changes between two time periods including the ability to compare load tests. Moreover, OpTier BTM platform gives the depth of resource consumption metrics tied to specific transactions to both gain a new valuable perspective on QA and help with provisioning applications once ready to deploy.
The Open BTM platform provides partners like SOASTA the flexibility and ease of integration to expand their offerings with OpTier’s application performance management solution.
