SOASTA Delivers Best-in-Class DevOps Performance Solution CloudTest on Microsoft Azure and Visual Studio MarketplacesSOASTA, the leader in performance analytics, today announced its expansion of Microsoft (News - Alert) support with the availability of its best-in-class global test platform for cloud and DevOps solutions - SOASTA CloudTest - on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and the Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) Marketplace. The collaboration extends SOASTA's (News - Alert) leadership in performance testing to Microsoft's solutions for Microsoft Azure customers migrating to the cloud and for continuous delivery. "SOASTA has been a great collaborator for us," said Paul Roy, Principal Development Manager of Performance in Microsoft's Universal Storefronts division. "SOASTA provides an excellent feature set and strong technical team and is easy and low-cost to integrate." SOASTA CloudTest Integration with VSTS Developers using Azure cloud services and Microsoft Visual Studio Online can now take advantage of continuous integration with SOASTA CloudTest, eliminating all necessary manual tasks for testing applications, including those for regression and user experience, reducing the testing process for new app versions by as much as several days. The expanded relationship brings together two award-winning companies dedicated to both the developer community and deployment of cloud applications at scale. Now, the millions of developers who use Azure and Visual Studio Team Services have access to SOASTA's CloudTest with Azure for easy-to-deploy load testing and integration with Microsoft VSTS. Market demand supports the expansion of SOASTA's support for Azure, as SOASTA has measured a greater than 400 percent increase in its customer use of the Azure cloud for load testing in the same timeframe, while Microsoft has experienced strong growth in its Azure business, with revenues increasing more than 100 percent year over year. "SOASTA and Microsoft are two companies that come together naturally through their commitment to DevOps," said Tom Lounibos (News - Alert), CEO of SOASTA. "CloudTest, with Microsoft Azure, delivers peak customer load to web and mobile channels just as real customers would - from the outside in. Unlike traditional performance testing done in a lab, CloudTest delivers full-scale 'dress rehearsals' of peak events, allowing all stakeholders to observe performance at scale in real time, identify problems and resolve the before putting revenue and reputation at risk." SOASTA CloudTest on Azure provides:

Power of Customer Choice With SOASTA's expanded support for Microsoft, SOASTA customers will get the best of Azure, with more locations, better stability and speed to spin up servers. Microsoft customers who are already using Azure, including those who have existing Azure credits, can now utilize CloudTest and Azure to performance test their infrastructure and get continuous testing from development with VSTS to production at scale. "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 performance testing that they've provided for users of open source Jenkins, Atlassian, Bamboo and other popular CI tools."
