The emergence of dynamic n-tier Web applications has triggered the need for testing solutions that can adapt to the high demands of these ever changing applications. Web applications require a sophisticated and thorough testing process. This is one reason ParaSoft is showcasing WebKing at both WEB2000 and Software Development East. Today, developers are working under the pressures of short and rapid development cycles to get these Web applications up and running, leaving little time for testing. Furthermore, thoroughly testing Web applications is a complicated and difficult process. Unfortunately, not testing a Web application can lead to devastating dev·as·tate tr.v. dev·as·tat·ed, dev·as·tat·ing, dev·as·tates 1. To lay waste; destroy. 2.

Developers using WebKing 3.0 can perform unit load testing, a technique exclusive to WebKing. Unit load testing enables developers to test how their backend programs perform as soon as they are built. Unit load testing also allows developers to thoroughly and effectively gauge how many users a site can handle. WebKing bridges the gap between the development and testing process of Web applications, enabling a more efficient and thorough Web application development cycle. Availability WebKing 3.0 will be available later this year.
