CloudOne, a provider of Software-as-a-Service, on Monday announced that it is expanding its hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) testing program to offer performance, load and stress tests available in hourly increments. By expanding its monthly offerings to include an hourly increment of consumption, test teams can take advantage of executing tests on-demand in shorter, more flexible and affordable bursts of time that are aligned with test execution best practices.
CloudOne is working with IBM software to provide a unique hourly performance offering designed for testing professionals who require periodic heavy load testing capabilities, but quickly discover that hardware and licensing costs for typical peak load testing become very expensive, even in monthly increments. This hourly approach allows users to execute essential large load testing to accelerate the discovery of weaknesses in the application under test when needed, without the need to search for available resources or invest in additional hardware and bandwidth.
