Users Enjoy Greater Integration Between soapUI And PushToTest

January 29, 2008 – CAMPBELL, CALIFORNIA, USA – Eviware, the world leader in open-source Web service soapUI test automation tools, and PushToTest, the world leader in open-source enterprise Web application, Web service, Ajax, and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) test automation solutions announced a far-ranging partnership to benefit Information Technology (IT) organizations that are challenged to surface performance and scalability issues with load and performance test automation, regression test automation, and business service monitoring solutions. In a clear win for customers and users, Eviware and PushToTest will build advanced integration between Eviware soapUI Pro and PushToTest and to sell and support test automation solutions in the USA and Canadian marketplaces.

InfoWorld rated PushToTest and soapUI to be "excellent" individually and PushToTest customers are looking for outstanding integration! For instance, many mid-size and large enterprises use soapUI to read Web Service Description Language (WSDL) documents and in a few clicks of the mouse write a multi-step test suite. Using PushToTest these tests run in a test lab of 10 servers to generate 2,000 concurrently running test suites. PushToTest reports then show an SOA environment's scalability index to help plan for hardware purchases and network bandwidth needs.

Under terms of the partnership the Eviware and PushToTest agreement delivers the following to customers and users:

• Eviware and PushToTest to build advanced integration and offer integrated Web Service test automation. While PushToTest version 5.0 currently integrates Eviware soapUI 2, Eviware and PushToTest will build deeper integration to provide support for Mock Services (virtualized services for testing,) advanced reporting for soapUI test suites, and Repository and Scheduler functions for soapUI test suites into upcoming product releases.

• PushToTest to build Eclipse plug-in with advanced integration with soapUI Eclipse Plug-in.

Enterprises are challenged to surface performance and load issues, regression and functional issues, and to accomplish business service monitoring in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment. Eviware soapUI is the recognized open-source Web service test suite development tool. soapUI users easily work with WSDL and SOAP-based Web services in an entirely graphical environment. soapUI features test suite creation and debugging. For instance, soapUI provides easy Mock Service creation to build virtualized services for test development where the real service is unavailable. PushToTest operates soapUI tests in a distributed test environment and provides hundreds of reports that enable users to do root cause analysis and remediation of SOA performance and regression problems. PushToTest repurposes soapUI tests into Business Service Monitors (BSM) with no additional programming.
