SOASTA Unveils Continuous Integration Solution for Developers Using Microsoft Visual Studio Online

Build 2015, Booth 318-SOASTA, the leader in performance analytics, today announced that it has extended the continuous integration process for developers using Microsoft (News - Alert) Visual Studio Online. The integration of SOASTA CloudTest and TouchTest automates the functional and performance testing of both mobile and web applications, reducing the time between build check-in and actionable performance analytics. The combined solution also provides developers with a lights-out process for uncovering potential issues with their applications, and gives them the insights needed to find and fix issues fast.

The new integration with Microsoft Visual Studio Online:

• Seamlessly integrates advanced load and performance testing into the CI process
• Helps developers and their operations teams deliver mobile and web applications more efficiently and with higher quality
• Provides new insight into end-to-end performance and the ability to identify and prioritize fixes for optimal performance

"Enterprises must respond to increasing customer demands with faster delivery cycles and more continuous processes enabled by automation across every phase of development," said Melinda Ballou, program director for IDC's (News - Alert) Application Lifecycle Management and Executive Strategies service. "Continuous Integration can offer DevOps teams more speed and agility regardless of their choice of open source or commercial CI platforms. With Visual Studio integration, SOASTA now offers developers on the Microsoft platform the same advantages of cross-platform functional and performnce testing that they've provided for users of open source Jenkins, Atlassian, Bamboo and other popular CI tools."

Today's announcement provides further proof that continuous testing and performance analytics are becoming a critical part of the DevOps lifecycle, fueling accelerated growth for CloudTest and driving the CloudTest community to over 30,000 registered users in the most recent quarter. SOASTA integrations with DevOps solution leaders like Atlassian, CA (News - Alert), CloudBees, IBM, Kony, Microsoft and Serena, plus open source platforms like Jenkins and Travis CI, tie cross-platform mobile test automation and performance analytics to continuous delivery approaches.

"This exploding growth shows that DevOps-driven digital businesses are adopting continuous integration solutions, which has been critical to getting apps to market faster," said Tom Lounibos (News - Alert), CEO, SOASTA. "Developers using Microsoft Visual Studio Online and Azure cloud services can now take advantage of continuous integration with SOASTA CloudTest and TouchTest, eliminating all necessary manual tasks for testing applications, including those for regression and user experience. This ensures optimized performance and simultaneously reduces the testing process for new app versions by as much as several days."
