Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

New version provides flexible features and performance enhancements that increase a test engineer's time for results analysis and additional testing cycles

RadView(TM) Software Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDVW), a leading provider of solutions for verifying the performance, scalability and integrity of business-critical Web applications today announces the immediate availability of WebFT 2.5 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.  of Web applications. This new version provides support for testing Web Services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. ; WebFT Reporter, a new tool for quickly building standard and custom reports, and a number of other features designed to provide test engineers with the flexibility and performance necessary for testing today's mission critical e-business solutions.

WebFT continues to be the industry's first and only 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.  solution to offer intelligent, open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced  test agenda creation using the JavaScript standard scripting language A high-level programming, or command, language that is interpreted (translated on the fly) rather than compiled ahead of time. A scripting, or script, language may be a general-purpose programming language or it may be limited to specific functions used to augment the running of an . This common language, combined with an intuitive visual authoring environment, provides a flexible, proven Web-centric testing solution that efficiently verifies the functional accuracy of Web applications and ensures applications perform as expected.

WebFT's new features address two important issues for software test engineers: testing increasingly complex Web applications and the continually shrinking test timeframe. WebFT provides automated test case generation for Web Services through an easy-to-use Wizard to ensure the quality and performance of a Web Service, and supports current and emerging standards including BPEL See WSBPEL.

These features save the test engineer time by automating processes and eliminating the need for additional hand coding Writing in a programming language. Hand coding in assembly language or in a third-generation language, such as C or Java, is the traditional way programs have been developed. In contrast, visual programming tools allow full applications or parts of an application to be developed without  and manually writing test reports.

 of more complex Web applications, RadView selects new feature additions by weighing the benefits to the test engineer in terms of time and flexibility," said Deb Kablotsky, Director of Product Management, RadView Software. "For instance, with our support for Web Services we have added an easy-to-use Wizard to our robust product, enabling customers to extend their testing initiatives to include Web Services without having to invest in a separate tool."

WebFT's flexible User Interface contains many enhancements that enable users to expedite test agenda creation while ensuring comprehensive coverage. Features that allow users to easily conduct data driven tests, insert custom objects, or drag and drop A graphical user interface (GUI) capability that lets you perform operations by moving the icon of an object with the mouse into another window or onto another icon. For example, files can be copied or moved by dragging them from one folder to another.  scriptlets provide more time for actual test runs by reducing set up investment and the need for hand coding.

WebFT Reporter automates the report writing process by providing templates for popular report types. Test engineers can also use WebFT Reporter to quickly create custom reports based on particular results and their specific requirements.

WebFT's embedded component support automatically records all the embedded objects in the Web application page, including Flash and Java Applets A Java program that is downloaded from the server and run from the browser. The Java Virtual Machine built into the browser is interpreting the instructions. Contrast with Java application. . In addition, WebFT and WebLOAD, RadView's load and performance tool, continue to share test scripts 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.  and agendas without modification. After functionally verifying a Web application or Web Service with WebFT, the same test script/agenda can be used in WebLOAD to execute a load or stress test, regardless of the platform. The ability to share these test scripts throughout the development lifecycle facilitates collaboration, increases team efficiency, and expedites results.

WebFT 2.5 is available today and pricing begins at $1,995.00 per seat.
