Information Technology Services Veteran Rutesh Shah, Will

Emphasize the Importance of Automated Testing Using XML as Data Storage to Meet the Ever-increasing Complexity and Challenges Brought

On by Today's e-Business Success and B2B Connectivity.

Arsin Corporation, a provider of collaborative e-Business products and services, today announced that in a presentation to Starwest 2000 Conference attendees on October 26, Rutesh Shah, director of test engineering and deployment, will discuss "Data-Driven Automated Testing Using XML."

Highlights of the presentation will include a comparison of the different types of data storage and the advantages of XML -- the markup language for documents containing structured information. The Starwest 2000 Conference to be held October 23-27 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California, will feature state-of-the-art testing technologies and offer a wealth of innovative testing solutions.

"Time-consuming and marginally effective test processes are unacceptable in today's fast-paced marketplace," said Rutesh Shah, director of test engineering and deployment at Arsin Corporation. The challenging demands of e-Business applications combined with the high-quality requirements on security, usability, and performance require more sophisticated test solutions. Planning the appropriate automated testing solution to meet these challenges will be critical to the e-Business success of any company. With Arsin's reputation as an industry leader in test engineering, and implementation exposure to B2B marketplaces, we are well positioned to help companies prepare for the service-level challenges brought on by today's highly competitive and real-time connected e-Business environments."

As the electronic marketplace continues to rapidly evolve, companies are undergoing massive changes and experiencing enormous challenges. Internet companies are under intense pressure to meet the needs of a wider range of end-user's skill levels, handle higher and extremely volatile transaction volumes, and quickly respond to competitive pressures. Test automation is mandatory for applications where accelerated time-to-market is imperative. The increasingly crowded market for testing tools also means that more companies require expert guidance to select and integrate robust, reliable automated testing solutions that will be able to meet a customer's demand for real-time service today and into the future.

"Organizations must be ready to successfully handle huge transaction volumes with 24x7 availability, while continuously accommodating rapid business change - downtime resulting in lost revenues and customers is not an option," said Danis Yadegar, president and CEO of Arsin Corporation. Scalable and reliable test automation is required for any Internet-driven business to succeed in the new millennium. Arsin will remain at the forefront by harnessing the power of leading-edge test automation tools and technologies that serve our clients in a highly competitive world - where only the fast, flexible, and forward-thinking will survive."
