AccordSQA Announces SmarteLoad, a Next Generation, Fully-Integrated Load Performance Tool; Break Through Tool Automates the Time Consuming and Complex Load Testing Process with Comprehensive Results.FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- AccordSQA(TM), a leader in next-generation test automation, today announced the release of SmarteLoad(TM), an automated load testing Load testing is the process of creating demand on a system or device and measuring its response. In mechanical systems it refers to the testing of a system to certify it under the appropriate regulations (LOLER in the UK - Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment tool that streamlines functional performance and load testing for complex software and Web applications. SmarteLoad is a key application in the SmarteSQA Technology Suite, a comprehensive suite of next-generation Automated Software Quality tools that automate the software testing Software testing is the process used to measure the quality of developed computer software. Usually, quality is constrained to such topics as correctness, completeness, security, but can also include more technical requirements as described under the ISO standard ISO 9126, such process, without programming. AccordSQA will demonstrate SmarteLoad and the SmarteSQA Technology Suite at the STAREAST 2005 Conference and Expo, May 16-19, in Orlando, Florida The city of Orlando is a major city in central Florida and is the county seat of Orange County, Florida. According to the 2000 census, the city population was 185,951. A 2006 U.S. . According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. IDC, worldwide sales of automated testing (testing) automated testing - Software testing assisted with software tools that require no operator input, analysis, or evaluation. tools rose by 8.5% in 2003 and are expected to grow at an annual compound rate of 9.3% through 2007. Today's complex applications, regulatory issues and compliance mandates, such as Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191) Also known as the "Kennedy-Kassebaum Act," this U.S. law protects employees' health insurance coverage when they change or lose their jobs (Title I) and provides standards for patient health, , are driving demand for automated testing tools that document and track the business processes. "Organizations with customer-facing applications can not afford to have errors in their software or downtime in their Web applications," said Rick Vatcher, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "As a comprehensive and powerful, yet easy to use tool, SmarteLoad is dramatically improving on the most difficult and tedious task in traditional load testing by offering an integrated environment that provides one set of scripts for all tools and functions." SmarteLoad uses next generation technology for automatic script generation, transaction measurements, real-time performance analysis, and self generated performance reporting and the creation of real-time graphs. SmarteLoad simulates performance, stress and load volume simulated users on applications to identify performance issues prior to production deployment. SmarteLoad easily transitions the testing project from functional testing (testing) functional testing - (Or "black-box testing", "closed-box testing") The application of test data derived from the specified functional requirements without regard to the final program structure. with SmarteScript, a powerful and intuitive application for functional and regression testing In software development, testing a program that has been modified in order to ensure that additional bugs have not been introduced. When a program is enhanced, testing is often done only on the new features. , to the more robust performance, load and stress analysis of the test application. The key features of SmarteLoad include: --Automatic Load Test Script The instructions in a test program. It defines the actions and pass/fail criteria. For example, if the action is "to enter a valid account number," the expected result is that the data are accepted. Entering an invalid number should yield a particular error message. See test case. Generation: Automatically generates test scripts.or can seamlessly use SmarteScript generated test scripts. --Data-Driven Automation(TM): Data is automatically captured using knowledge-based Point & Learn Technology(TM). --Multi-level Grid-Driven Automation: Automatic parameterization and correlation of objects and data parameters. --Automated Agent Exploration(TM): Enables remote host recognition, connection and installation of agents across networks. --Simulated Load Synopsis(TM): Automatically simulates SimUser(TM) volumes on host generators participating in the synopsis and the back-end environment. --Grid Visualization Engine (GVE GVE general visceral efferent system of nerves. ): Empowers users with the ability to visualize, drive and control how data and objects interact in the test process. Unlike other automated testing tools, the SmarteSQA Technology Suite is the only solution that automates manual scripting and reporting and captures business intent by incorporating Smarte Process Optimization(TM) into the testing process, adding a new level of intelligence to functional and regression testing.
