OpenDemand Quickly Gains Industry Support for New Load Testing Product

CEO's Presentations at Various Conferences Receive Rave Reviews

Newark, New Jersey- April 17, 2002
OpenDemand Systems founder and CEO Donald Doane has been busy addressing various ColdFusion and Macromedia User groups, educating them on the need to load/stress test applications and sites developed using ColdFusion. The resonating message is to perform such tests "early and often" to achieve optimum system performance and reduce both development time and costs.

Doane's presentations combine industry leading best practices and real world case studies using OpenDemand's "script free" load testing tool, OpenLoad. The lectures demonstrate the need for load/stress testing while displaying OpenLoad's seamless ability to test ColdFusion applications in any environment.

"I was able to walk away from the presentation with a greater understanding of the importance of load testing," said Robert Parmelle, a New Jersey Macromedia User Group member. "I received some great tips, and learned about problem areas to avoid in site design. Great presentation!."

Rich Lobel, Head of the NJ Macromedia User group had this to say about Doane's presentation and the OpenDemand product. "I received excellent feedback from members about the presentation. Although designers and developers know the importance of load testing, it is often something that is considered difficult and expensive. With OpenLoad, those two things are no longer an issue. Many thanks again and I hope we can do more work with you in the future."

Commenting on Doane's presenting to a CFUG user group in New York City, Judith Dinowitz made this statement, "His expertise in load testing really came through, and his demonstration of Open Load, his company's product, made me want to sign up."

Principal of AdPronline and also a Macromedia User Group Member said "Your company's demo was one of the most exciting that I have experienced at a MMUG meeting. Your company has developed a great product and service. I have been thinking of ways that I could incorporate your service into my business model."

OpenDemand's newest release, OpenLoad 2.0, is the foundation of Doane's presentations that have been wowing audiences across the nation. Stephen Ritter, head of the Philadelphia Area ColdFusion User Group expressed his sentiments on the product.

"We were grateful to Donald Doane and the OpenDemand team for presenting such a useful tool to the group. Many developers do not know where to begin with load testing or are not aware of the tools one could use. OpenLoad certainly opened the eyes of the group to the fact that load testing may not be as difficult or expensive as we may have thought."

OpenDemand has recently announced a free trial of the product for any member of the ColdFusion community. The free trial includes up to five users which allows them to load test their product prior to going live.

It provides you with the confidence that your site will meet the high performance standards that today's Internet users demand. It is aimed at developers who need to test as they implement in order to ensure they are delivering a stable, usable and reliable business solution at the end of the day. It significantly reduces the amount of time and resources required to test so that developers can focus on what they do best - developing software.

The tool is 100% browser-based, providing all of the ease-of-use of a Web based application without any of the headache of having to learn "yet another" programming language to perform testing. In addition, OpenLoad's advanced recording and reporting capabilities enable you to quickly baseline and compare the performance of your web site or application as you make changes to content, code or supporting infrastructure.

Know that your application or site will withstand the loads predicted when it goes live! OpenLoad can simulate hundreds or thousands of "virtual users" and enables you to instantly view the results on-line, graphically, and in real time. It enables you to perform multi-user tests that model how a system will be used under real-world conditions, ensuring that serious problems are identified and corrected prior to deployment. In addition, this browser-neutral automated testing solution supports all of the popular native browser technologies such as JavaScript, HTTPS, and Cookies and enables you to test as you develop - without having to wait to use expensive equipment and software to see whether your ideas are correct.
