We've done for cloud testing what Amazon did for online shopping

Now, with 1-click functionality, anyone can determine the performance of a Web site from around the world.

We're proud of the fact that developers and Web teams turn to us for insight into how their applications are performing and how end users experience them

We already offer the largest and most accurate real-time test & measurement infrastructure in the world. Now, we also offer a rich and easy-to-use instant testing tool backed by the power of our global test & measurement network.

“We’ve done for cloud testing what Amazon did for online shopping,” said Vik Chaudhary, vice president of product management and corporate development at Keynote. “Now, with 1-click functionality, anyone can determine the performance of a Web site from around the world.”

Users will also be able to use Keynote’s cloud storage to store the 20 most recently executed performance test scripts for reporting and analysis. Other new KITE features enable users to build and share scripts and performance results with their colleagues and across teams via email, Facebook and iGoogle and across multiple file formats.

“We’re proud of the fact that developers and Web teams turn to us for insight into how their applications are performing and how end users experience them,” said Vik Chaudhary. “We already offer the largest and most accurate real-time test & measurement infrastructure in the world.
