Two industry leaders in the field of quality assurance software and services, AutoTester Inc., represented exclusively in SA by Usko Software, and BMC Software Inc. (NASDAQ: BMCS) have announced a worldwide agreement that delivers complementary solutions for companies seeking a systematic, integrated approach to load testing and performance monitoring of client/server systems, including SAP R/3.
"The agreement is effective immediately and gives companies a one-stop solution for quality-assurance software and services, including load-testing capabilities as well as comprehensive, real-time reporting of system performance by applying existing technologies," said Danny Denyssen, Account Manager, Automated Testing, at USKO Software Systems Solutions Division.
"The relationship combines AutoTester`s stress testing and test management technologies with BMC Software`s Application Service Assurance (ASA) products. The total solution will be sold by AutoTester, and its authorised distributors," he said. "In addition, a more fully integrated solution based upon these technologies is planned for development."
According to Randy Jesberg, product line manager at AutoTester in Dallas, Texas, the companies` joint efforts provide a total solution, from comprehensive load testing to real-time performance monitoring analysis that enables project teams to easily pinpoint the source of application errors and performance bottlenecks.
"Companies now have a way to unite quality assurance with BMC Software`s ASA solutions, resulting in improved system performance, predictable system availability and a reduction in the cost and risk associated with system failure," he said.
