RadView's WebLoad Selected by Microsoft BackOffice Group for Evaluating Scalability and Performance in Developing BackOffice Windows DNA-based Applications.Business/Technology Editors LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2000 Performance Demonstrations Will Illustrate End-to-End Application Development Using Microsoft BackOffice Server Not to be confused with Back Orifice. Microsoft BackOffice Server was a family of bundled servers and operating system sold during the 1990s and early 2000s. It was based on Windows NT Server and was for use in branch operations and for small businesses. RadView Software, Inc., the premier provider of e-business system testing (testing) system testing - (Or "application testing") A type of testing to confirm that all code modules work as specified, and that the system as a whole performs adequately on the platform on which it will be deployed. and analysis solutions, today announced that WebLoad, its award-winning Web application testing application testing - system testing software, has been selected by the Microsoft BackOffice Developer's Guide to develop techniques for deploying Web applications using Microsoft Windows DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. . Microsoft will use WebLoad to demonstrate to customers and partners how to design, build, and deploy scalable, high-performance Web applications as part of the larger effort to unify its development models under the framework of Windows DNA. The project will use Microsoft technologies including component services (COM (1) (Computer Output Microfilm) Creating microfilm or microfiche from the computer. A COM machine receives print-image output from the computer either online or via tape or disk and creates a film image of each page. +), Transaction Services (MTS (1) See Microsoft Transaction Server. (2) (Modular TV System) The stereo channel added to the NTSC standard, which includes the SAP audio channel for special use. 1.

It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. . &uot;Incorporating WebLoad into the development process allowed developers to measure the performance of their Web applications at various stages of the design and deployment process,&uot; said Mike Iem, product manager, BackOffice Server, Microsoft Corp. &uot;The value of this iterative testing is its ability to uncover design and implementation errors early in the process, to verify scalability and integrity prior to deployment, to increase code quality, to reduce time-to-deployment and to help ensure absolute confidence in the capabilities of the application prior to deployment.&uot; &uot;We are pleased with the Microsoft BackOffice group's initiative to educate their customers on the best methods for designing, developing, and deploying scalable Web applications,&uot; said Andrew Cabot, vice president of marketing, RadView Software. &uot;The BackOffice Developers Guide selection of WebLoad as the test tool for these programs is an important proof-point for RadView's vision of providing testing tools to shorten and simplify development cycles.&uot; Microsoft will provide a link to RadView's Web site from the BackOffice Developer's Guide, which will be distributed through the Microsoft Web site, through mailings and at regional shows scheduled in 2000. Award-winning WebLoad is the premier testing and analysis solution for Web applications. WebLoad delivers a high-performance, easy-to-use, and cost-effective solution for testing business-critical systems prior to deployment. It is the only solution that integrates scalability and integrity testing into a single standards-based process for shortened development and testing cycles, and for unmatched application verification prior to deployment.
