eBusinessReady Program Certifies 12 Software Products.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2003 eBusinessReady(TM), an industry-neutral software testing Software testing is the process used to measure the quality of developed computer software. Usually, quality is constrained to such topics as correctness, completeness, security, but can also include more technical requirements as described under the ISO standard ISO 9126, such program under joint partnership of the Uniform Code Council, Inc. (UCC An abbreviation for the Uniform Commercial Code. ) and Drummond Group Inc. (DGI DGI Direction Générale des Impôts (French: Department of Revenue) DGI Dirección General Impositiva (Argentina) DGI Danske Gymnastik- & Idrætsforeninger (Denmark) DGI Drummond Group Inc. ), today announced 12 software products have successfully passed interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. testing for AS1 (Applicability Statement 1) specifications. AS1 is a specification standard that allows applications to communicate Electronic Data Interchange See EDI. (application, communications) electronic data interchange - (EDI) The exchange of standardised document forms between computer systems for business use. EDI is part of electronic commerce. (EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) The electronic communication of business transactions, such as orders, confirmations and invoices, between organizations. Third parties provide EDI services that enable organizations with different equipment to connect. ) data over the Internet using Simple Mail Transport Protocol (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. ) or email. This enables users to connect, deliver, and reply to data securely and reliably. The following companies passed the AS1 2Q03 interoperability test: Boomi, Inc., bTrade, inc., Classified Information, Inc., Cyclone cyclone, atmospheric pressure distribution in which there is a low central pressure relative to the surrounding pressure. The resulting pressure gradient, combined with the Coriolis effect, causes air to circulate about the core of lowest pressure in a Commerce, Hewlett-Packard, IPNet Solutions, Inc., iSoft Corporation, iWay Software iWay Software, an Information Builders subsidiary, makes over 300 software-based adapters that access data from applications such as SAP, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and Baan as well as databases such as Adabas, DB2, SQL Server and Oracle and deliver these data to other systems and , Inc., TIBCO Software Tibco Software Inc. is a software company, with headquarters in Palo Alto, California. Tibco sells business process management and business integration software. History Vivek Ranadive founded the company as Teknekron Software Systems (TSS) in 1985. Inc., Trailblazer Systems, Inc., and webMethods, Inc. The participating products-with-version are required to exchange test messages with each other and to verify the validity of each transaction. The test messages cover the full scope of the AS1 standard, which includes digital signatures, encryption The reversible transformation of data from the original (the plaintext) to a difficult-to-interpret format (the ciphertext) as a mechanism for protecting its confidentiality, integrity and sometimes its authenticity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys. and receipts, as well as compression. Repeated interoperability testing allows a greater number of software products to communicate seamlessly with one another. This enables supply chains to function more cost-effectively by increasing the number of interoperable The ability for one system to communicate or work with another. See interoperability. software product choices. With each new round of testing, products become more mature as consensus is reached about the interpretation and implementation of each standard. The testing takes into account different scenarios so that software vendors are given the opportunity to eliminate potential "bugs" and problems in a non-competitive, vendor-neutral test environment. "We are very pleased with the growing participation in the AS1 interoperability tests," said Rik Drummond, Chief Executive Officer of DGI. "The fact that an equally impressive number of repeat customers and newcomers have enrolled in these tests illustrates how important interoperability is becoming in a market seeking ways to boost efficiency and lower the cost of transmitting critical business data."
