Product Description

SOASTA Concerto is an easy and powerful visual environment for automating Web testing. Through a suite of browser-based visual editors, any developer, sales engineer, business analyst or tester can quickly and easily create complex parallel message streams for testing and certifying Web applications (i.e., SOA, REST, Web 2.0, BPEL Orchestrations, HTTP, Web Services, HTML). SOASTA Concerto’s unique visual approach saves time, reduces complexity and increases productivity.

Market Opportunity

The intersection of SOA and automated software quality (ASQ) will represent a potential market in the neighborhood of $9 billion by 2009, according to IDC forecasts. IDC also reports that the continual shift toward service-oriented architecture will drive demand for new ASQ capabilities to assess and certify Web services and its components.

Demo Says

The transition to service-oriented architectures requires new tools to test message flow, capacity, performance and integration. Hand-tooling each integration is at best a slow process. SOASTA is a real accelerator for the service-based computing model, saving developers countless hours and aiding them in bringing highest-quality Web services to market quickly.
