RadView Software Supports Web Services Testing With Proven Technology.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2003 New Automated Test Support for Emerging Standards Plus an Open Environment for Collaborative Testing Ensures 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. Success 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 support for Web Services testing. RadView Software addresses the challenge of testing non-GUI-based Web Services by providing easy-to-use Wizards that automate the process of test case generation. RadView's open, Java-based environment facilitates a collaborative test process between development and test engineers and supports emerging Web Services standards. Web Services support is available in WebFT(TM) 2.5 and WebLOAD(TM) 6.0, RadView's functional and load testing software Software that tests a system's ability to handle a heavy workload. The software simulates multiple transactions or users interacting with the computer at the same time and provides reports on response times and system behavior. . Using Wizards, developers and QA professionals are able to test an application at the API (application interface) and Unit level. The QA engineers can reuse the test scripts generated by the Wizards to perform 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. , as well as load and stress testing Determining the durability of a system by pushing it to its limits. Stress testing a network is performed by transmitting excessive numbers of packets or attempting to break in illegally. . In addition, RadView software's use of JavaScript as the 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 provides a common platform for test and development engineers to work together on developing and executing additional complex test scripts. "Collaboration between development and test engineers is crucial to successfully testing a Web Service because the knowledge to test these types of programs is shared between these two groups, said Deb Kablotsky, Director of Product Management, RadView Software. "Typically, the QA team has regression and performance experience, while the development team understands the application's complexity. Providing tools that facilitates a team process is key to efficiently testing any complex Web application." George Nemer is a Systems Architect in the test group at Brierley & Partners, a provider of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) An integrated information system that is used to plan, schedule and control the presales and postsales activities in an organization. software and services. "Building complex CRM Web Services applications requires testing early and throughout the development cycle. The application development team and the test group form an integrated team to plan the application testing application testing - system testing together. At Brierley we have found that full life cycle testing, with an integrated team and the right tools is the equation for success." RadView's software facilitates collaboration between development and test teams as WebLOAD and WebFT are able to share scripts without modification, eliminating additional coding work or re-scripting. Being able to share scripts written in a standard language allows integrated teams to use the same scripts and tools throughout the development process. This 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 approach facilitates productivity and teamwork enabling an efficient, collaborative, and comprehensive approach to testing Web Services. RadView's WebLOAD and WebFT support industry standard and emerging technologies such as WSDL (Web Services Description Language) An XML-based language for defining Web services. Developed by Microsoft and IBM, WSDL describes the protocols and formats used by the service. , BPEL4WS See WSBPEL. and SOAP. For both 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. and load testing, Wizards are included that step users through the test set up and configuration, as well as data verification and expected results. In addition to the functionality provided by the Wizards, users have the flexibility to create highly customized tests for specific functions through the flexibility of the JavaScript language. Both products are shipped with Web Services support included with pricing beginning at $7595.00 for WebLOAD and $1995.00 for WebFT. About RadView Software Ltd. RadView(TM) Software Ltd.
