April 11, 2007; 10:08 AM RadView Software Ltd. (OTCBB: RDVWF), today launched WebLOAD Open
Source, the world's first commercial-grade open source Internet
performance testing solution. RadView will now focus on products that
are based on open source to offer customers a solid alternative to
high-cost proprietary performance testing solutions that are often too
difficult to implement and lack the flexibility to properly meet
customer needs.
WebLOAD Open Source, licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL)
version 2, is based on WebLOAD, the company's flagship product that is
already deployed at 1,600 sites. Immediately available for free
download and use, WebLOAD is a commercial-grade open source project
with more than 250 engineering years of product development.
"Current proprietary solutions are too costly and too inflexible,
prohibiting developers from tackling performance issues correctly,"
said Ilan Kinreich chief strategist of RadView and a co-founder of
Mercury Interactive. "RadView's open source approach will foster
innovation, expand the use of performance testing, provide the
foundation for an open source testing ecosystem, and help to define
testing standards. Ultimately, open source testing tools will be the
key catalyst to improve the quality of Internet applications."
"RadView is embracing an open source approach for building,
marketing and selling software," said Yochai Hacohen, RadView CEO. "The
power of the open source ecosystem, will make WebLOAD a better product,
reduce time to market and increase WebLOAD's reach, enabling WebLOAD to
become the de facto standard for performance testing of Internet
applications."
