SOASTA 55 update is now available. Check out some of the amazing new features to meet and surpass your performance testing needs!
User interface improvements
From the moment you log in, you will see the changes. SOASTA 55 brings a new look and organization to CloudTest and TouchTest. If you also use mPulse, you’ve already seen this new interface, starting from the login screen:
The New Resources pages for CloudTest and TouchTest provide quick access to how-to videos, documentation, blog posts, downloads, and other resources.
Baseline performance comparisons
A recent addition to CloudTest, this dashboard makes it easy to compare load and performance tests against tests that have been chosen as the baseline performance. Test results that are within a defined variance or better than baseline appear colored green, while results that are outside of your defined variance from baseline can be coded as yellow or red depending on the variance amount.

Remote device integration
Since the recent delivery of the remote device cloud for TouchTest, you can now access the remote device cloud interface in the TouchTest panel. The integrated view provides full access to the Remote Test Kit service. You can choose to access the public device cloud, with more than 300 iOS and Android devices, as well as your company’s private device cloud if your company has chosen this option for exclusive access to a pool of devices for testing.
Globalization
CloudTest and TouchTest are now both localized and available in Simplified Chinese and Japanese. To switch languages, access the language menu in the upper right corner.
Dashboard sharing
Many testers want to share test results dashboards with teammates or management. Now you can send a dashboard URL to others and they can open the dashboard to view the results, even while the test is still in progress.
To share a dashboard, click the share icon:
And choose whether you want to share only the current dashboard, or the dashboard and the navigation bar, and copy the URL for sharing.
Cache dynamic resources
As most web pages have dynamic content, we have switched the default from static to cache dynamic resources when recording load test scripts. You can still easily select static when needed.
