HP brings performance testing solutions to Microsoft Azure
Developers are under ever increasing pressure to roll out applications quickly, and that means performance testing is more important than ever to ensure they work as they should.
To address this HP is using Microsoft Ignite to announce updates to its performance testing tools and that it’s making them available on the Azure marketplace.
Both HP StormRunner Load and HP LoadRunner are now pre-configured for Microsoft Azure environments, providing organizations with access to cloud-based tools on demand for faster and easier application performance and load testing.
"The mobile application development market is evolving rapidly, and developers today require fast, flexible, and easy-to-use tools to help them accelerate mobile app delivery," says Robert Youngjohns, EVP and GM at HP Software. "By delivering HP StormRunner Load and HP LoadRunner in the Microsoft Azure environment, we are providing developers with a fast-path to a proven, cloud-based platform that they can use to build and test scalable, high-performing applications".
HP StormRunner Load is a SaaS solution for agile development teams. It allows them to test, analyze, and tune applications and gain confidence in application scalability up to millions of geographically distributed web and mobile users. Features include an integrated WebPageTest to show client side single user response time when a back-end application is under load. It also links in with HP Network Visualization and HP SiteScope so that impact on network behavior and application health is included in testing.
HP LoadRunner is designed to provide developers with an accurate picture of end-to-end system performance and help identify and resolve issues before application changes go-live. It allows organizations to reduce the cost of application downtime related to performance issues in production and supports continuous testing of web, mobile, and legacy technologies.
HP LoadRunner Community Edition is available now on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and HP StormRunner Load Community Edition will be available next month.
