Eviware™ and PushToTest™ Announce Partnership To Deliver Open Source  
Test Automation Solutions for Web Services

Users Enjoy Greater Integration Between soapUI And PushToTest

February 4, 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.
