Last week, Perforce announced our 12th acquisition, the BlazeMeter Continuous Testing Platform – a great addition to our DevOps at Scale portfolio. I’d like to welcome the Blazemeter team to the Perforce family. Throughout our conversations leading up to the acquisition, it was clear that we were dealing with a world-class product, and a world-class team. We are excited to add both to Perforce and look forward to the things we will accomplish together.

The goal of automating UI testing is to speed up the software release process and help developers catch front-end bugs sooner and fix them faster.‍ The potential benefits of automated UI testing for web applications are huge: Most software companies do UI testing by asking developers or QA engineers to write test scripts to test the front-end of the application within a web browser. The most popular automation frameworks are Selenium and Cypress.
