HP Expands Testing for Mobile and Cloud-Based Application Delivery
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 18, 2014) - HP (NYSE: HPQ)
today announced new offerings to accelerate mobile and cloud-based
testing and improve user experience while increasing cost savings
and quality for the delivery of business-critical applications and
services.
To help organizations drive quality, performance and velocity
into their mobile, cloud, hybrid and traditional applications, HP
is unveiling new versions of the products within its HP Application
Lifecycle Management portfolio. The new software offerings help
enterprises improve planning and development, shrink testing costs
and speed the delivery of applications while continuously reducing
potential business disruptions.
Ease of use, quality and performance are at the forefront of
today's global enterprise applications since poor user experience
can quickly and directly impact brand perception and the financial
bottom line. HP's enhanced offerings are the foundation for
delivering quality digital content, innovative applications and
reliable services to the "anywhere, anytime" world.
Performance testing from the cloud To help improve continuous
performance testing for capacity, scalability and reliability, HP
is introducing HP LoadRunner 12 and HP Performance Center 12 with
new cloud testing capabilities designed to help organizations:
- Increase cost savings with instant access to large-scale
load-generation capabilities in the cloud. Enterprises can scale
performance-testing resources on flexible cloud platforms based on
business and geographic demands.
- Shrink overhead through an integrated management environment
that automates provisioning of load generators in the cloud across
geographically dispersed teams while maintaining security and
control.
- Reduce business disruptions by focusing testing efforts and
improving test results with enhanced DevOps capabilities for an
end-to-end performance application life cycle. This is achieved
through continuous integration with developer tools such as Jenkins
and integration with production monitoring tools such as Google
Analytics.
- Detect and remediate performance issues before they become
costly to the organization by integrating load testing earlier in
the Agile development life cycle.
"At British Sky Broadcasting, customer experience is
fundamental to delivering the expansive entertainment and
technology services we offer, making quality and performance
imperative for speeding innovation and business growth," said Colin
Griffiths, Platform Performance Engineer Team, British Sky
Broadcasting. "With HP Performance Center, using new enhancements
including REST API support, we can now continuously integrate
performance testing across development and Agile teams to deliver
superior content and services that continue to excite our customers
and scale based on demand."
Expand mobile application testing HP's new functional and
performance testing products are designed to help enterprises
embrace mobile testing by enabling faster delivery of engaging
applications without jeopardizing quality. The enhanced offerings
let organizations:
- Run field tests on mobile devices to extend quality assurance
to offline scenarios. A new suite of mobile applications built on
the HP Anywhere Enterprise Mobility Platform enable access to test
scripts and allow test results and defects to be easily uploaded
into HP Application Lifecycle Management and HP Quality Center
Enterprise while the tester is on the go.
- Empower testers to manually test mobile applications faster and
eliminate defects that impact mobile application functionality more
efficiently with HP Sprinter for Mobile.
- Improve the accuracy and reliability of performance testing
with enhancements to Shunra Network Virtualization for HP Software
to emulate real-world network conditions, which is vital for
enabling a quality user experiences.
- Remove delays and constraints that impede fast-moving mobile
application delivery teams by identifying potential performance
issues early with HP Service Virtualization 3.5. By integrating
service and network virtualization on the same platform, teams can
test the behavior of virtual services on realistic network
conditions.
Enrich the user experience to deliver quality applications To
help organizations successfully deliver the experiences their
employees, customers and partners expect, HP offers HP Application
Lifecycle Management 12 and HP Quality Center Enterprise 12, which
now deliver:
- A simplified and intuitive user interface (UI) design
accessible across browsers and mobile devices, helping IT
organizations become more effective and efficient at delivering
business-critical applications.
- New requirements definition and management features provide a
comprehensive Word-like authoring environment with full
traceability throughout the application life cycle. Integration
with HP Agile Manager enables critical alignment between business
requirements definition and Agile development processes.
HP Unified Functional Testing 12 helps IT organizations adopt
and apply functional test automation more efficiently to meet the
quality needs of distributed and Agile teams by:
- Eliminating potential errors by integrating quality assurance
earlier into application development. Extended support for
technologies including Safari, and API testing enhancements enable
quicker release cycles.
- Reducing costs by simplifying test automation with HP Business
Process Testing 12 embedded in the UI. This enables users to create
automated tests that can be instantly transformed into reusable
business components directly from the same application.
- Test more efficiently and continuously with direct integrations
into HP Application Lifecycle Management and HP Quality Center
Enterprise for enterprise test management and continuous
integration solutions.
"Ciber drives real-world results for our clients' strategic
IT initiatives by helping them get the most out of their

ALM 12, we serve more clients, more efficiently with new features
that enable traceability for complete application life cycle
management and improved business requirements integration for

"Mobility and cloud challenge organizations to balance
time-to-market demands while delivering engaging user experiences
that separate them from the competition," said Bernd Schlotter,
senior vice president, application delivery management, Software,
HP. "By integrating performance and functional testing capabilities
earlier into the application life cycle, HP empowers organizations
to deliver the innovative mobile, cloud and hybrid software
applications that are the engines of business growth with
unprecedented velocity and uncompromised quality."

and testing while empowering development and testing teams to
