HP has launched a new LoadRunner-in-the-Cloud offering that allows its partners to provide a branded offering for application performance testing in the cloud, which would help their customers deliver high-quality applications.

Qualified partners can use the on-demand service model of the cloud to deliver consumption-based performance testing of Web 2.0, AJAX and mobile and other applications to their customers using the HP LoadRunner-in-the-Cloud offering.

In addition, LoadRunner-in-the-Cloud offering complements the HP performance testing services portfolio.

The new HP offering is coupled with a partner’s cloud infrastructure to enable customers to accelerate time-to-market with access to the hardware and software resources required to conduct application performance testing anytime, anywhere and also to deliver high-quality applications with a comprehensive view of system performance that identifies and eliminates potential bottlenecks before the application is deployed in production.

The LoadRunner-in-the-Cloud offering simplifies performance testing of complex applications with HP LoadRunner’s TruClient, an offering that reduces testing cycles by cutting script time and correlation for Web 2.0 applications by as much as 50%.

Further, it also ensures cost-efficiency through subscriptions, with which customers can consume and pay for the application performance testing resources they need on a daily basis and enable HP partners to deliver high-quality applications faster.

HP Software Product and Solution Marketing senior director Matthew Morgan said organisations that do not have robust performance testing may face application delivery delays or risk performance bottlenecks if they are unable to get timely access to testing resources.

"The HP LoadRunner-in-the-Cloud offering allows partners to deliver cost-effective, on-demand access to leading performance testing in the cloud," said Morgan.
