Appvance introduced Appvance UTP Performance Cloud to make load testing lower cost, fast, and easy for development and QA teams.

Built atop the Appvance UTP platform, Performance Cloud brings a very easy to use interface which allows novices to advanced users to get load test results in minutes, with no additional training. Additional features include mobile load testing as well as UX-level HTML5 performance tests using real browsers in the cloud.

“This new cloud offering from Appvance is simple, easy to use and very inexpensive: 50% to 80% lower cost than the competition.” said Kevin Surace, Appvance CEO. “Our Unified Test Platform is the best-of-breed 3rd generation automated test platform. However, not everyone needs the hundreds of features and test types offered to the enterprise in Appvance UTP. This new cloud load test service gives people a taste of what they might graduate to in the future, all starting at no cost.”
