October 1, 2024 – GameDriver Inc., a provider of automated testing solution for gaming, immersive, and spatial computing experiences, and Perform, a provider of performance engineering, monitoring, and DevOps solutions, have today announced a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing the development cycle for developers and enterprises.
Through the partnership, Perform will offer GameDriver’s XRDriver solution for automated testing as an added value to its existing and new clients in the gaming and XR sectors. In addition, GameDriver customers will also gain access to Perform’s experience in performance optimization, functional test automation, and DevOps (a software engineering methodology that combines software development (dev) and operations (ops) with the aim of integrating the work of both teams).
Built on core video game technologies such as Unity and Unreal Engine, and designed with cross-platform capabilities, GameDriver stated that its XRDriver solution provides benefits for reducing test cycles and providing development teams with more actionable feedback, allowing for greater test coverage for complex projects and a faster pace of both delivery and time to revenue.
According to Perform, which has already worked as a development and engineering advisor to major gaming studios, the integration of GameDriver’s solution into its service offerings will help developers to catch bugs earlier, and “improve the overall quality of games and immersive experiences.”
In addition to working with gaming studios and XR developers, both companies noted that they also work with enterprise customers adopting XR for various use cases, such as staff training and digital marketing. With these sorts of experiences demanding high performance, GameDriver and Perform added that their new partnership will help ensure these immersive applications run smoothly without compromising quality.
“We work with many enterprise customers that are embracing gaming and XR technologies for a variety of use cases. Whether they are using AR/VR to deliver novel ways of training staff and engaging customers, or using games as part of digital marketing campaigns to earn attention from younger consumers, the imperative is the same in that these applications have little to no room for performance and quality limitations,” said Zach Sergio, Head of Client Strategy at Perform. “Through our partnership with GameDriver, we can serve as a go-to consulting partner for organizations that are serious about delivering premium digital experiences to the market.”
Greg Ladd, SVP of Sales & Alliances at GameDriver, commented: “Our collaboration with Perform will provide significant value to developers, studios, and enterprises. By combining GameDriver’s expertise in automated testing solutions and Perform’s DevOps know-how, we’re offering developers a comprehensive toolkit to ensure that both the quality and performance of their applications meet industry-leading standards.”
The companies noted that as of today, Perform is fully equipped to integrate GameDriver’s solutions into its service offerings.
