SOASTA Launches Mobile Services Division

SOASTA^®, Inc., the leader in cloud and mobile testing, today announced the launch of its Mobile Services Division (MSD) to help companies deliver the highest quality user experience for their mobile and web apps. SOASTA's (News - Alert) MSD, headed by mobile testing and big-data industry veteran Mahesh Gidwani, focuses on helping its customers build and manage mobile test labs by combining SOASTA's best practices and proven test methodologies to ensure successful mobile application delivery using the company's CloudTest, TouchTest, and mPulse products.

In addition to SOASTA's own MSD, SOASTA is also introducing a Mobile Test Automation Network made up of mobile test professionals from around the world that will be accredited to deliver SOASTA's mobile test methodologies. Joining this network today are partners focused on Mobile Test Automation including ProtoTst, Total Performance Consulting and Utopia Solutions, that extend SOASTA's services reach to clients across geographies and industry verticals.

"The explosion of mobile development has created a capability gap in the services market that SOASTA uniquely fills with our elite team of experts and partners who have pioneered mobile test automation and cloud testing," said Tom Lounibos (News - Alert), SOASTA CEO. "We launched the SOASTA Mobile Services Division after our customers told us that they often lacked the expertise to implement and execute effective mobile and cloud-based testing strategies."

"As enterprises struggle to match the pace of consumer demand via mobile and web properties, they are finding it hard to adapt their quality processes," said Tom Murphy, Gartner (News - Alert) Research Director. "Gartner sees the growth and expansion of specialized professional services as a natural response to the market need."

The new Mobile Services offered by SOASTA span strategy, methodology, accreditation, implementation and ad-hoc services focused on:

• Mobile Test Automation Architects (On-Demand, On-Premise)
• Mobile Test Automation Experts (On-Demand, On-Premise)
• Mobile Performance Engineers (On-Demand, On-Premise)
• Continuous Integration Test Methodologies
• Building and Management Services for Internal and External Mobile Application Test Labs

"With this expansion, joint SOASTA and Utopia customers will experience rapid return and expert guidance of seasoned mobile testing experts resulting in the highest quality mobile apps to their end-users."

"I'm excited to be leading the charge into mobile test services for SOASTA," said Mahesh Gidwani, SOASTA's new VP, Professional Services. "SOASTA is excited match our product innovations with equally innovative services that help our customers with mobile automation."
