Online Shopping Festivals and Christmas-themed marketing campaigns have given a major boost to online shopping in India in recent times. With website traffic peaks expected during this season, businesses need to guarantee their mobile and web applications will perform well under pressure and handle the upcoming onslaught of online shoppers. In response, Borland has launched a new virtual currency, Borland Credits that can be used to purchase Silk Performer CloudBurst testing services. The pre-paid model delivers application performance testing without the need for hardware assets, helping users to significantly reduce testing costs and complexity, quickly and efficiently.
 Nitin Dang, Country General Manager, India, Micro Focus, said, “Borland Credits is a wonderful initiative to tap the potential of the cloud and offer businesses a flexible way to future proof their websites. We have created Borland Credits to offer businesses a forward-thinking and flexible way in which to get more from the cloud.”
 Nitin Dang continued, “Users will have easy access to our Silk Performer CloudBurst testing services – from anywhere in the world – without the need for unnecessary, costly infrastructure, which often sits around collecting virtual dust until it is needed.  We are giving our customers better control over their testing expenditure, with the ability to ensure their applications run at optimum levels, wherever they may be.”
 Through the new billing model and Borland Credit system users will also be notified by email, 24 hours in advance of when a load test agent is about to automatically close and will receive Virtual User Price Protection.
