Case Study: Pearson Education achieves more reliable, cost-effective testing with SOASTA CloudTest

Pearson Calls on SOASTA to Deliver a Better Educational Testing Experience for Less

Pearson Education needed a faster, more reliable, and more cost-effective way to scale online student assessments as Common Core drove higher usage and more frequent testing. The company’s existing load testing tools were expensive and not keeping up with the demands of its Schoolnet education software, especially during peak academic-day traffic and complex data integrations.

SOASTA implemented CloudTest On-Demand to help Pearson Education validate performance at scale across laptops, desktops, and mobile devices. With SOASTA, Pearson was able to support hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users, generate production reports immediately for go/no-go decisions, and save $100,000 in incremental testing costs while improving the reliability of the user experience.
