by Anonymous

Los Altos, CA -- March 5, 2003 -- WebPartner™ (www.webpartner.com), the price/performance leader in web test, announced today a major release of its highly acclaimed Test and Performance Center™. To help departmental teams and small to mid-sized businesses ensure that their web-based processes work properly, WebPartner has launched a Windows NT/2000 version of their Hosted Test and Performance Center™. This new release, called the WebPartner Test and Performance Center™ Professional version, has all of the features of the WebPartner Test and Performance Center™ Hosted/ASP version and is easily integrated within company’s internet infrastructure. The WebPartner Test and Performance Center™ Professional version is priced at a fraction of the cost of comparable enterprise-level products.

The WebPartner Test and Performance Center™ web-based user interface allows users to quickly FIND, FIX and PREVENT™ performance bottlenecks and failures within web applications inside or outside of a firewall. The WebPartner Test and Performance Center™ measures and reports website performance from a customer's perspective combining ease of use and performance to meet all of the Testing, Diagnostics and Monitoring needs of any business with an internet presence.

According to Zona Research, more than $21 billion per year are lost when Web users abandon a site because of excessive delays in page downloads. And about $4 billion of the estimated lost opportunity is due to transmission errors caused by Internet infrastructure delays or failures.

The WebPartner Test and Performance Center™ Professional is easily implemented for testing throughout the development and post-deployment lifecycle for web applications and web services software. Both functional transaction tests and stress tests can be up and running quickly; generating intuitive color-coded graphical reports and can be configured to provide escalating e-mail and/or pager alerts based upon configurable performance-based notification thresholds.

“As companies look for ways to cut costs, improve productivity, and increase customer satisfaction, they are moving transactions and business processes to software applications running on web infrastructures. These web applications and web services are becoming increasingly more complex and mission critical, “ said Mark Bailey, Chairman of WebPartner. “By making automated test software easier to use, more affordable, and powerful, we hope to help our customers perform more testing throughout the software development lifecycle. By uncovering defects earlier in the development/deployment lifecycle, development, test, and performance teams can dramatically increase quality while also reducing the overall cost of deployment and operation.”
