GemStone Systems, Inc., the software infrastructure technology leader for the new B2B economy, and RSW Software, Inc., a unit of Teradyne, Inc. (NYSE:TER) and the e-business application testing technology leader, today announced a strategic alliance that provides tools for load testing, and optimizing the performance of enterprise applications from development through deployment.
As a result of the partnership, GemStone and its customers can utilize RSW's e-TEST(TM) suite and EJB-test(TM) to analyze the scalablity and functionality of enterprise class applications built on the GemStone/J(R) 4.0 application server using Java(TM) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE(TM)).
"GemStone has been instrumental in helping companies develop and deploy high performance, scalable Java applications. This strategic partnership with RSW reinforces GemStones's recognition that automated testing is a continuous process that needs to take place throughout the development phase and no longer be considered a one-time event," said Steve Caplow, director of marketing and business development. "By using RSW's e-TEST suite and EJB-test in conjunction with GemStone applications, GemStone's customers will now benefit by easily identifying and correcting performance problems early in the development stage, which enables faster e-business time-to-market and optimized user experiences."
The agreement between the two corporations represents a key alliance in the growing number best-of-breed partnerships that GemStone is forging to expand its growing Java Success technology initiative. By partnering with prime movers in e-business, GemStone strengthens this ongoing initiative to disseminate the "how-to" knowledge the software company openly shares with the Java community.
Recently voted Overall Favorite Product of the Year and the Reader's Pick in the Development Tool category by InfoWorld magazine readers, RSW's e-TEST suite is the only development-to-deployment testing solution that offers unparalleled ease-of-use and functionality. E-TEST reuses a common set of scripts across the entire application life cycle to ensure a faster time-to-market. Integrated to seamlessly work with GemStone/J, the e-TEST suite identifies and isolates performance shortfalls by emulating the results of thousands of users simultaneously accessing an e-business site.
RSW's EJB-test is the industry's first Java solution for testing Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) middle-tier applications. Not only does EJB-test allow for early testing of applications, but it generates thousands of client threads thereby applying massive loads on the EJB application under test, and also plots performance graphs that include response times, response time per method, transactions per second and exceptions.
"This alliance means GemStone customers can increase the overall quality of their ebusiness applications while significantly lowering their time-to-market," said Ken Irinaga, president and CEO of GemStone. "To succeed in this dynamic e-commerce economy, our customers demand the highly-scalable, reliable and available architectural platform they find in GemStone/J. With RSW's test solutions and unparalleled GUI user interface, e-businesses can rapidly deploy their complex B2B applications and get it right the first time."
