Notoriously Challenging, Performance Testing Is Now Surprisingly Simple

Today's Web 2.0 paradigm shift presents a new set of functionality challenges and availability expectations that make performance testing more critical than ever. However, for many years, performance testing was largely a big-business endeavor, primarily because of the exorbitant cost of setting up and maintaining a large-server infrastructure with installed tool licensing that accurately simulates real-world traffic. Today, the concept of “Cloud” testing dramatically levels the playing field. The Cloud creates shortcuts for organizations of all sizes to test more effectively, improve user experiences, cut development costs and shorten time to market. Working in a Cloud dramatically accelerates how your company can create new products and shrinks development time from years to weeks. Traditional barriers such as cost and time are no longer acceptable excuses. Industry-best options are available for every company.

 

Govern Outsourcing for Optimal Results

The decision to outsource your entire IT process, or portions of your software development, is not an end to itself. Driving real cost savings and better business results requires a fundamentally different mindset. However, like anything, change is difficult and expensive. Not surprisingly, most executives worry about managing the vast complexities of such a change. But when you stop and look at the competitive landscape, the question becomes not whether or not you should take on the challenge, but how will you outsource for optimum results? To succeed you must develop a comprehensive strategy and define rigorous and well-supported steps designed to achieve your most critical business requirements, goals and objectives.
