OpenDemand Unveils New Software Release of Functional and Performance Test Tool for Web Applications and Services

OpenLoadä V4.5 Offers Simple, Cost-Effective Alternative to High-Priced & Complex Functional and Performance Test Tools for Midmarket and Large Enterprise firms

Newark, New Jersey - November 15, 2004

OpenDemand Systems today officially unveiled OpenLoad™ V4.5, the industry’s only truly easy-to-use and affordable, browser-based load and functional testing solution for ensuring the performance, availability and reliability of enterprise Web applications and services. The new release extends OpenDemand’s focus on delivering simple, powerful and affordable automated testing solutions.

“We deploy business-critical applications that must adhere to strict service level agreements, so testing is essential,” explained Grace Mollison, ECommerce Systems Manager, Hogg Robinson. “The challenge for us was finding the right testing solution to fit our needs. After a rigorous analysis of the test tool market, we selected OpenLoad because it is much easier to use, faster to implement and more in line with our budget than any other tool on the market.”

As the industry’s next generation testing solution, OpenLoad™ V4.5 further distances itself from high priced and overly complex legacy test tools by dramatically reducing the amount of time and resources required to setup and execute tests as well as delivering popular enterprise features such as integrated windows authentication (NTLM), IP spoofing, Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) support and virtual user rendezvous points. Other new features include out of the box support for testing packaged applications such as J.D. Edwards/PeopleSoft EnterpriseOne and World as well as Oracle Forms.

“We recently implemented OpenLoad™ V4.5 and are already starting to reap the benefits. We have found the detailed reporting facility excellent in pinpointing potential issue points in our applications. We decided to use OpenLoad as we found the tool to be intuitive and to offer all of the functionality of the leading enterprise test tools without the cost. One of the hardest things with choosing an automated testing solution is finding the correct tool for the organization. With the experiences that we have had so far we are confident that we have done that with OpenLoad,” said Ryan Pace, Quality Assurance Manager, Asite Solutions.
