Segue Software Strengthens E-Business Reliability Position With Major New Capabilities In Flagship Products
SilkTest First to Support Automated Netscape 6.0 Verification;
SilkPerformer Now Offers Full Support for Wireless Applications
LEXINGTON, Mass.-May 8, 2001-Segue Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEGU), the
e-business reliability expert, today announced extended capabilities in the
company`s SilkTest and SilkPerformer products -- two offerings in the
company`s well-established line of reliability applications. Segue`s
eConfidence line, including SilkPerformer, SilkTest, and SilkPilot, are the
leading reliability applications on the market, accurately modeling
demanding e-business environments and simulating the stress presented by up
to hundreds of thousands of concurrent Web site visitors.
SilkTest 5.5 is the first automated application verification product
available for the Netscape 6.0 browser as well as the latest release
versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer. Support for Netscape 6.0 extends
SilkTest`s ability to verify the reliability of e-business applications
built using any of a wide range of technologies and computing platforms.
Additional features include a new HTML-based reporting capability and
integration with Segue`s SilkMeter product for flexible, controlled
licensing.
With SilkPerformer 4.5, Segue now provides full support for the load testing
of WAP applications. Its new remote installation technology simplifies large
load tests by creating a complete load test environment with multiple agent
computers from just one computer. SilkPerformer 4.5 is also fully enabled to
load test i-Mode applications, an emerging standard for mobile Internet
applications. A new feature in this release is its ability to load test
applications built using SOAP, a key technology that is a part of
Microsoft`s .NET initiative.
"More than ever, SilkPerformer and SilkTest provide the support today`s
e-businesses demand - especially in the area of wireless capabilities -- to
ensure their sites and applications are prepared for even the toughest
conditions," said Steve Butler, Segue president and chief executive officer.
"And with our recently introduced SilkVision monitoring system, global
enterprises can now count on a comprehensive suite of solutions that
addresses the entire application lifecycle for their most critical
e-commerce operations."
