SOASTA Positioned as a Visionary In Gartner Magic Quadrant for Integrated Software Quality Suites
First Cloud Testing Vendor to be Recognized in Influential Industry Report
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,—August 6, 2009—SOASTA, the leader in cloud testing, today announced it was recognized as a visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for “Integrated Software Quality Suites” for 2009. The study assessed selected test management and test automation vendors according to their ability to execute and completeness of vision. Among the criteria used for evaluation were innovation, market understanding, marketing and sales strategy, product strategy and business model.
According to Gartner, “the total market for test management and functional and load/stress automation is currently valued at just under $1.2 billion, and is growing at more than 8% per year.” Furthermore, “ . . . a growing number of vendors continues to enter the market. This includes new script-free and model-driven testing environments, tools for testing in the cloud, tools for managing test labs and utilizing the cloud as a test lab . . .”
“We’re honored to be recognized in the Visionaries Quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Integrated Software Quality Suites,” said Tom Lounibos, CEO, SOASTA. “We believe representation in this influential report is further validation that cloud testing is moving mainstream. We’re proud to lead the way for what is the most affordable and accurate way to load and performance test complex web applications and websites at web-scale.”
Key to SOASTA’s inclusion as the only cloud testing vendor was its mature, enterprise-level product capabilities, technical innovation and deployment flexibility—offering both an on-demand service using public clouds as well as an appliance for internal, self-service testing.
