SOASTA, the leader in cloud and mobile testing, and New Relic, Inc., the SaaS-based cloud application performance management provider, today announced their partnership and the integration of New Relic's application performance management solution on SOASTA's CloudTest platform. The integrated solution gives developers complete visibility into the performance of their web applications throughout the entire application development lifecycle. Now developers can immediately begin building performance tests to assure the highest test coverage and tune their apps based on deep performance diagnostics to ensure the highest level of application performance and availability, all at no charge.

The SOASTA CloudTest platform offers a single, integrated platform for functional and performance testing. Designed for modern Web and mobile applications testing, the platform offers a comprehensive set of components and access options that enable teams of any size to execute frequent, scalable and affordable functional and performance tests from inside the lab through to live production. New Relic is the all-in-one web application performance management provider for the cloud and the datacenter. Its SaaS solution combines real user monitoring, server monitoring, application monitoring, and availability monitoring in a single solution enabling developers and operations teams to quickly and cost effectively monitor, troubleshoot, and tune application performance. Together, New Relic and SOASTA CloudTest can be deployed in minutes, enabling users to build and run functional and performance tests of web applications, and then monitor, troubleshoot and tune their applications quickly and easily.

"The integration of New Relic onto the CloudTest platform allows for a seamless flow of communication and quick exchange of information between teams throughout the dev-test-management process," said Tom Lounibos, SOASTA CEO. "Now it has never been easier for organizations to conduct fast, comprehensive real-time tests with visibility into virtually every aspect of the application's performance, so they can release quicker."

"CloudTest is an essential tool for development teams building applications in today's world of rapid deployment cycles, and New Relic is very pleased to be integrated on the platform," said Bill Lapcevic, New Relic's vice-president of business development. "By bringing these two best-of-breed solutions together we’re creating an ideal solution for agile development teams who won’t settle for anything other than top performance and availability."
