Live Webinar: New CloudTest with TouchTest™ Technology
Date: Thursday, January 26th 10-11am PST
This week SOASTA announced CloudTest® with TouchTest™ technology, a ground-breaking new release of the CloudTest Platform that delivers complete functional test automation for continuous multi-touch, gesture-based mobile applications. Please join us for this webinar where SOASTA CEO Tom Lounibos and VP of Engineering Tal Broda will discuss and demonstrate the new CloudTest capabilities including:
· Precision capture and playback of ALL continuous touch gestures including pan, pinch, zoom, and scroll on iPhones, iPads, iPods and Android mobile devices
· Touch-based UI testing from INSIDE the app, replacing brittle optical recognition approaches, enabling validations based on variable values and internal app state changes
· Control of test devices via IP address, eliminating the need for tethering, jailbreaking, or contracting with expensive 3rd party services
· Private Device Clouds that support affordable testing with real devices in your lab or across the globe
With this new release, the CloudTest Platform delivers a complete solution for performance and functional test automation of mobile apps across real, distributed mobile devices.

Getting Started with CloudTest Lite
Date: January 17, 2012
Join this webinar to learn the basics of test creation, execution and analysis with CloudTest Lite. SOASTA’s expert Performance Engineers will teach you to:
• Quickly build tests with visual test creation tools
• Build, compose, run and analyze web performance test of any complexity
• Scale tests up to 100 simultaneous users
• Test using the latest technologies: AJAX, Silverlight, Flash, HTML5, and SOAP and REST web services
• Analyze tests in real-time through interactive, integrated dashboards
Webinar: Run More Tests & Find More Issues
Do you get so mired in the complexity of building tests, obtaining and provisioning hardware, collecting data, and analyzing results that you only have time for a few large tests? Would you rather rapidly execute a series of tests with incremental and progressive objectives? An effective performance-testing approach minimizes pre-test preparation and focuses on productive issue identification and resolution.
In this webinar, join Dr. Neil Gunther, Creator of Guerilla Capacity Planning, and Dan Bartow, SOASTA’s VP of Performance Engineering, to learn how to execute more tests that deliver actionable information in less time. You will learn:
• How to reduce time-to-test with rapid test development
• Why it is critical to run many iterative performance tests
• Why control is key when running tests in production environments
• How to collect and correlate relevant data across the entire system under test
Dr. Gunther will explore transforming performance data into actionable information. Then Dan Bartow will demonstrate how one of the world’s largest retailers is using CloudTest to execute hundreds of tests in preparation for the upcoming holiday season.

201 : Real World Performance Testing in Production
Tuesday, 11:45am – 1:00pm
Online application performance is critical – no one would challenge this statement. Yet the dirty little secret in the web world is that the amount of performance testing done on applications is appallingly low. When performance testing is done it’s usually conducted in a test lab. Even with thorough testing in a lab environment, when applications are deployed to production they very frequently topple under the pressure of real-word users. The results from this investment in lab testing are not delivering the answers that leadership needs about web application performance. Simply put, the lab is not the production environment. Running a few hundred virtual users in a small lab does not mean that you can support twenty times as much load in the production environment. Yet this kind of extrapolation is being done all throughout the industry.
Testing in production is an essential component of world-class performance methodologies. However, this approach is not without it’s own set of challenges; the three most common of which are security, test data in production, and potential live customer impact. In this session you’ll learn key elements from the methodology that companies are using to enable production testing and subsequently gain the highest confidence possible in their production application performance and reliability. How can you possibly place 10,000 test orders on an e-commerce site without having that many vacuum cleaners show up on your doorstep? How could you securely create 300,000 test accounts in production and leave them out there on a financial services application? Come to this session and learn how businesses from the New York Stock Exchange to Netflix have solved these problems to enable ongoing production testing.
Mobile Application Performance Testing – Real Devices, Real Locations, Real Traffic
Date: Thursday, July 28th
Webinar
Whether your organization is developing consumer-facing mobile content, or providing mobile apps to internal employees, you are tasked with ensuring high quality, reliable applications. This means testing early and testing often. However, with the launch of new devices every month on new platforms and networks, geographically distributed users, unpredictable traffic patterns, and applications delivered through complex and distributed components, ensuring high performance is a challenge.
In this webinar DeviceAnywhere and SOASTA performance engineers will discuss and demonstrate how to:
- Test end user experience from real mobile devices, while your system is experiencing peak traffic
- Test from distributed locations with accurate test scenarios and actual devices
- Test any mobile business process under extreme conditions
- Combine and correlate end-to-end performance metrics on a single timeline
- Test with unparalleled speed and agility
