SOASTA Cloud Testing Shares Its Knowledge Base

Online, December 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The value of testing a mobile application can't be ignored. All the hours of development and design that go into the making of a single application can be wasted if the proper approach to testing is not implemented before the launch. SOASTA has been providing cloud, load and mobile application testing across a variety of platforms. As such, they have developed an extensive knowledge base they are only too happy to share. Instead of static reports, SOASTA has made available for download their growing library of informative webinars. These are easy to understand demos on a wide array of topics.

One of the newest titles to be added is "Run More Tests and Find More Issues." In this webinar, Dr. Neil Gunther, Creator of Guerilla Capacity Planning, and Dan Bartow, SOASTA's VP of Performance Engineering, discuss the benefits of "an effective performance-testing approach that minimizes pre-test preparation and focuses on productive issue identification and resolution." Users who tap into this webinar will learn from the following discussion points:

• How to reduce time-to-test with rapid test development
• Why it is critical to run many iterative performance tests
• Why control is key when running tests in production environments
• How to collect and correlate relevant data across the entire system under test

Another popular webinar being offered by SOASTA explores the company's new functional testing capabilities. In this program, SOASTA's CEO, Tom Lounibos, and VP of Engineering, Tal Broda, provide a virtual "walk through our new functional testing capabilities." Along with the general information provided, Darrell Esau, one of SOASTA's software engineers, offers up engaging demonstrations in:

• Fast visual test creation
• Robust visual programming
• Accurate recording of all browser action events at the DOM level
• Playback through any browser on any platform - Mac, Windows, Linux
• Rich and extensible test validation and location strategies
• Improved test analytics with integrated performance data - comparable over time
• Easy integration into continuous test integration frameworks

There are many other webinars available with intriguing titles such as "Stop Cheating and Start Running Realistic Tests" and "Getting Started with CloudTest Lite." With new webinars being added every week, this is definitely one site that should be bookmarked by anyone who is serious about mobile application development.
