Rackspace Technology (Rackspace), an end-to-end multicloud technology solutions company, is partnering with Digivante, a digital performance analysis, and continuous website and application testing services firm, to deliver Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered application testing for Rackspace Technology customers in EMEA.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Through AI and Machine Learning (ML)-powered automation, Digivante provides digital performance analysis and continuous website testing services, which help to augment application testing. Digivante helps customers overcome issues with automation such as long development times, the desire to “automate everything” rather than focus on where it adds value and saves time, or missing key scenarios that cannot be easily automated. In addition, where cloud migrations and optimisations require testing within a quick timeframe, Digivante offers fast crowd-sourced testing.
Rackspace Technology customers across EMEA will now benefit from Digivante’s expertise and technical capabilities, particularly as an increasing number of businesses rely heavily on digital reliability and app development.
Cost reductions
Customers will accelerate their software delivery and reduce test cycle times thanks to the use of AI and ML and by seizing efficiencies offered by the cloud. Utilising the AI-driven codeless platform also eliminates error-prone manual testing to reduce costs.
Daniel Berry, CEO at Digivante, said, “With little or no automation, traditional manual application testing can be extremely time-consuming, error-prone and difficult to scale, often resulting in either poor quality applications deployed to production or significantly delayed releases. Building automation into your testing and blending it with crowd testing in the right way reduces costs and increases velocity.
“Delays of any kind can be extremely costly. According to IDC, an hour of downtime in enterprise environments can cost between USD 500K to USD 1M – so no organisation can afford frequent downtimes in a competitive market. Automating application testing helps maximise efficiency and improves the service our customers can enjoy.”
Mahesh Desai, Chief Relationship Officer, EMEA, at Rackspace Technology, added, “Application testing can be an unnecessary stress for businesses that already have a lot of challenges to overcome and are simply trying to deliver on customer expectations. Our joint offering with Digivante is a crucial step towards helping further augment the process for our customers and take the burden off their shoulders. App modernisation is a fundamental element of our customers’ ongoing cloud journeys, and this partnership enables us to help them to do so more easily.”
Rackspace recently worked with BFC Group Holdings to assist their move from on-premises to AWS in order to fuel expansion.
