SLA is a result-oriented performance agreement that is intended to measure performance and determine the quality of services provided by IT administrators. Service Level Agreement helps follow proper principles to support sound industry governance that can be underpinned with human and technical terms and resources. Since quite some time, response time and availability metrics have been included in design objectives for application development and have been included in SLAs.

SLAs are especially useful in the IT service industry, in which the clients are worried about softwares providing mission-critical services to their business. A single malfunction in IT operations can severely damage the working structure of the business. It is hence vital that the IT service provider has a defined set of rules and strict regulation in the form of a SLA to ensure that the promised IT services will be delivered. A SLA can provide the network administrator with complete details on application availability and is a great tool to application monitoring and performance testing. It also smoothens the business service management process.
