SmartBear Software has acquired Lucierna Inc., a provider of Application Performance Management (APM) solutions.
The acquisition adds Lucierna’s root cause analysis (RCA) and real user monitoring (RUM) capabilities to SmartBear’s web, mobile and API monitoring and load testing solutions.
“Recent events have shown the importance of ensuring the quality and performance of critical software applications,” said Doug McNary, Chairman, SmartBear Software. “New, faster software release cycles require enterprises to continuously model and predict performance and immediately resolve problems.”
Now, with the addition of Lucierna’s technology, SmartBear enables development and operations professionals to easily test expected application performance, monitor actual performance and model future performance at both the user and API level.
“Lucierna customers now have the benefit of a comprehensive solution that embraces the breadth of application monitoring, performance testing and real-time code diagnostics from a single vendor – SmartBear Software,” said Manuel Lopez, CEO, Lucierna. “SmartBear has the unique ability to provide the complete perspective of application behavior by testing and monitoring performance of applications for the most effective performance management solution available.”
With this acquisition, SmartBear combines real-time user experience, transaction and performance monitoring along with code diagnostics to better manage application effectiveness.
Venture capital firms Inveready and Caixa Capital Risc are both investors of Lucierna.
Lucierna will be fully integrated in SmartBear’s SaaS platform in the first half of 2014.
