Acquisition to Extend CA’s DevOps Portfolio to
Include Easy-to-Use, SaaS-based Continuous Application Performance
Testing Solution Built on Open Source Software
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced it has signed a
definitive agreement to acquire BlazeMeter, a leader in open
source-based continuous application performance testing. Terms of
the agreement were not disclosed. The transaction is expected to
close by year end.
The acquisition of privately-held BlazeMeter will enable CA
Technologies to extend its DevOps portfolio. BlazeMeter will
seamlessly integrate with CA’s continuous delivery solutions to
further improve testing efficiency and accelerate the deployment of
applications.
“BlazeMeter has redefined performance testing with its
simplicity, fast-deployment SaaS model, and rapid time-to-value,”
said Ayman Sayed, president and chief product officer, CA
Technologies. “The acquisition will reinforce our leadership
position in continuous testing, and our efforts to democratize
performance testing as organizations accelerate their DevOps
journey to drive speed and quality in the delivery of new software
updates and innovations.”
As development teams move to Agile and continuous delivery
practices to improve time-to-market of applications, enterprises
are struggling to keep up. Testing speed is the major bottleneck in
getting applications released faster. With BlazeMeter’s solution,
developers and performance engineers can test earlier and often in
the application lifecycle to improve their test coverage and avoid
encountering performance problems too close to production.
“Developers and performance engineers want to achieve superior
test coverage by using open source tools and tools that can
integrate well into the developer ecosystem,” said Alon Girmonsky,
founder and CEO, BlazeMeter. “Joining forces with CA Technologies
will enable BlazeMeter to continue developing our technology while
enjoying the vast resources of CA Technologies to better serve our
customers.”
BlazeMeter’s commercial, self-service continuous application
performance testing solution is fully compatible with Apache
JMeter™ as well as other open source software tools like Selenium,
Gatling and Locust.
Founded in 2011, BlazeMeter has offices in Tel Aviv, Israel and
Palo Alto, Calif.
