RadView Software Announces WebLoad Internet Productivity Pack 1.0; New Offering Advances RadView's Industry Standard JavaScript and Internet Protocol Capabilities.Business/Technology Editors BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2001 RadView(TM) Software Ltd. (Nasdaq: RDVW), the fastest-growing provider of solutions for verifying the performance, scalability, and integrity of business-critical Web applications, today announced the immediate availability of the WebLoad(TM) Internet Productivity Pack 1.0, the latest extension to its award-winning family of solutions. The Productivity Pack extends WebLoad's existing load generation capabilities to easily test and analyze the performance of Web applications at the per-client, per-instance level based on standard Internet protocols Refers to all the standards that keep the Internet running. The foundation protocol is TCP/IP, which provides the basic communications mechanism as well as ways to copy files (FTP) and send e-mail (SMTP). using simple JavaScript objects and commands. "As transaction-based Web applications continue to grow in complexity and scope, we expect the use of multiple non-HTTP protocols to grow accordingly," said Billie Shea, director of research, Newport Group, Inc. "This added protocol support from RadView is essential to users who demand a higher degree of flexibility and realism in how tests for these applications are constructed and executed." The Productivity Pack provides the most comprehensive support in the industry for the File Transfer Protocol A communications protocol used to transmit files without loss of data. A file transfer protocol can handle all types of files including binary files and ASCII text files. See Kermit, Zmodem and FTP. (FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to ), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol See SMTP. (messaging) Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - (SMTP) A protocol defined in STD 10, RFC 821, used to transfer electronic mail between computers, usually over Ethernet. It is a server to server protocol, so other protocols are used to access the messages. (SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) The standard e-mail protocol on the Internet and part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, as defined by IETF RFC 2821. SMTP defines the message format and the message transfer agent (MTA), which stores and forwards the mail. ), Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), User Datagram Protocol See UDP. (protocol) User Datagram Protocol - (UDP) Internet standard network layer, transport layer and session layer protocols which provide simple but unreliable datagram services. UDP is defined in STD 6, RFC 768. (UDP UDP (uridine diphosphate): see uracil. (User Datagram Protocol) A protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. ), and Telnet. Its powerful, high-level JavaScript objects deliver the ability to load and verify application performance and scalability for each of these protocols. With the Productivity Pack users can more realistically emulate a client's interactions with an Internet application by freely mixing any combination of these protocols with WebLoad's current capabilities inside a single virtual user script A software routine written by the user of the application rather than the developer. User scripts require programming skills. See Greasemonkey. . Engineers can therefore create better scripts for testing each protocol's complex applications more easily than before, eliminating the need to understand Request For Comments (RFC's), or program, at the raw socket A TCP/IP socket. The "raw" refers to the socket itself where one might program directly to the socket without going through the TCP/IP programming interface. level. The Productivity Pack is fully interoperable with RadView's flagship solutions, WebLoad and WebLoad Resource Manager(TM). "This easy-to-use extension to WebLoad is another step forward in RadView's vision for accelerating application development and success in that it helps our customers rapidly deploy their business-critical Web applications," said Phil Hollows, vice president of technology, RadView Software. "The Internet Productivity Pack illustrates one of our key competitive differentiators - the ability to test with a mix of Internet protocols at the per client, per instance level for a more real-world scenario. This is yet another metric that provides our customers with added assurance that their Web applications will perform well when deployed." Availability and Pricing The WebLoad Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. Productivity Pack is currently available through RadView sales. Pricing begins at $4,950. Introductory, upgrade, and service and maintenance programs are also available. Detailed pricing information is available from RadView at 1-888-RADVIEW or sales@radview.com.
