LoadRunner Add-In From J9

J9 Technologies Inc. today announced a new solution in its JDBC Protocol Add-in product line, enabling customers to extend the capabilities of HP LoadRunner, to stress and isolate problems in the backend data tier and deploy new applications with confidence. J9 is a member of the HP Quality Management Ecosystem, which provides alliance members the ability to develop test accelerators for HP Quality Center and HP Performance Center to support additional platforms, applications and environments.


The JDBC Protocol Add-in leverages HP LoadRunner technology, capturing all SQL traffic going from a Java application to the backend database and playing it back to directly exercise the data tier for high concurrency testing. This helps QA teams apply a measurable and repeatable load to the database and expose potential performance problems early in the development cycle. The auto-generation of database testing scripts replaces the need for writing complex Java code and frees up QA resources for other QA activities.


The JDBC Protocol Add-in from J9 Technologies is fully tested with the full suite of HP LoadRunner solutions, and can easily be used alongside all other HP LoadRunner protocols to create a more realistic and comprehensive load test.


"For the last 6 years, J9 Technologies has been working closely with HP to ensure that customers get more out of their HP LoadRunner and HP Performance Center investments," said Clay Roach, President and CEO for J9 Technologies. "We are very excited about this latest addition in our new line of JDBC Protocol Add-ins and the value it will deliver to our mutual customers for simplifying their JDBC testing efforts. The JDBC Protocol Add-in can help reduce testing cycles dramatically and enable QA, Dev and DBA teams to collaborate on fine-tuning database testing."


"HP is committed to helping our customers rapidly deliver critical business applications that function and perform according to the needs of the business," said Erez Barak, director of product marketing, Software, HP. "HP's collaboration with J9 helps our customers increase efficiency by streamlining the complex process of database testing."
