August 16, 2007 - CAMPBELL, CALIFORNIA - PushToTest TestMaker 5 is an
open-source platform for test automation, service governance, and
business service management. For Java developers TestMaker is a
framework for turning unit tests into functional tests, load and
scalability tests, and service monitors automatically.

At any given time new software needs to be installed, existing
application software modules and database software need to be patched,
application software and databases need to be tuned and optimized, and
the root-causes of crashes, downtime, and performance bottlenecks
needs to be analyzed and remediated quickly.

Software developers use PushToTest Version 5 to turn their unit tests
into functional tests in a test automation platform that runs on their
development machine. PushToTest Version 5 includes Wizards and
Recorders to automatically build tests and supports a variety of
languages, including Java, Jython, Groovy, PHP, Ruby, and many others.
Plus PushToTest Version 5 supports SOA, Web Service, AJAX, and REST
services using HTTP, HTTPS, SOAP, XML-RPC, and the email protocols.

The PushToTest Version 5 runtime environment automatically turns these
same functional tests into load tests, scalability and performance
tests, regression tests, and service monitors for QA technicians, IT
operations managers, and CIOs. PushToTest Version 5 runtime load tests
and service monitors integrate into Service Registry/Repository
products and database and application performance optimization and
root-cause analysis tools.

Top-level features and enhancements:

*  TestScenario is a new XML-based system to reuse unit tests as
regression tests, functional tests, load tests, integration tests, and
service monitors requiring no coding.
* Graphical environment to control tests and view results in real-
time.
* Record/play-back unit tests of Web applications using the
integrated point-and-click TestGen4Web utility.
* Create test suites of SOAP-based Web Services using the
integrated Eviware soapUI utility.
* Create tests of AJAX and REST applications using the integrated
HTMLUnit framework.
* Java 6 ScriptEngine (JSR 223) support enables you to write tests
in any supported language: Java, Jython, Groovy, PHP, Ruby, and many
others.
* Distributed test environment (TestNetwork/TestNodes) to
vertically scale tests to thousands of users and horizontally scale
tests to operate the test from multiple locations around your network
* Performance Comparison Utility shows changes in performance from
one test to another.
* Monitors CPU, Network, Memory utilization as test operates.
* Transaction distribution analysis charts as test operates.
* Automatic archiving of test results in XML file format.
* Log to Relational Databases (RDBMS)
* Data Production Library (DPL) system to create dynamic data as
test operates from XML files, Comma Separated Value (CSV) files, and
Relational Database (RDBMS)
* Validate service responses using Data Production Library (DPL,)
integrated XML parsers, regular expressions, and custom objects.
* Operate PushToTest As A Service (PAAS) by making a SOAP request
to TestMaker to operate a test and return the statistics of the test
results. Includes fully functional interoperability with SoftwareAG/
WebMethods X-Registry repository.
* Start, pause, stop, and change the order of test case operation
as the test operates.
* Service monitor panel shows service status dashboard.
* Notification of test operation by email, SMS, pagers.
* Expanded protocol handler support (HTTP, HTTPS, apache SOAP,
Apache Axis SOAP, REST, AJAX, email) and extensible to add your
protocols.
* Backwardly compatible with TestMaker 4 tests.
* Call TestMaker from the command-line to use with Continuous
Integration Environments.
* Professional documentation, tutorials, screencasts, and
reference guides.

The new software comes with two licenses: The source code is
distributed under a GPL version 2 license and the pre-built and ready-
to-run binary download comes with a free commercial license that
limits you to 200 concurrent running virtual test users and 10 service
monitors. Additional users and monitors licenses available from
PushToTest.
