Sauce Labs announced the formation of its Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) program, a new initiative designed to streamline the way enterprises transform their software development processes and integrate continuous testing into their delivery pipelines.

The impetus behind the Sauce Labs TAP program is to help partners develop integrations that allow Sauce’s continuous testing capabilities to extend deeper into a customer’s software development pipeline and collectively provide greater value to customers. Sauce Labs TAP partners will have access to Sauce Labs engineering, solutions architect, documentation, and product resources, enabling them to deliver tightly coupled integrations with the Sauce Labs Continuous Testing Cloud. The program is available worldwide.

The Sauce Labs Technology Alliance Partner program will initially focus on five areas within the software delivery pipeline: delivery orchestration, test creation, test management, CI/CD tools, and visual testing. Inaugural partners include Atlassian, Applitools, AutonomIQ, Codefresh, Harness, Microsoft, QASymphony, QMetry, Screener, TestCraft, Testim, Testsigma, and Tricentis.

Charles Ramsey, CEO of Sauce Labs, said: "We’re at the center of a transformative change taking place in business today. All around us, companies are realizing that software is the product. The way businesses differentiate today is through speed and quality, delighting customers with digital experiences faster than the competition. Testing has long been a bottleneck in the software delivery process. By more deeply embedding the Sauce Labs Continuous Testing Cloud into the software development pipeline, we can eliminate that bottleneck for businesses and free them to innovate and deliver products faster."
