Clearapp Seminar
ClearApp (http://www.clearapp.com/), a provider of comprehensive application service management (ASM) for J2EE-based composite applications, today announced it will host a free webinar with OpenDemand to discuss best practices for mitigating downtime risks associated with application change management throughout the application development lifecycle. The webinar is on April 22, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time.
The session, entitled "Effective Application Change Management," will discuss how companies can leverage best-in-class load testing, end user monitoring, application service dependency mapping and J2EE component-domain-level health monitoring technologies, to predict application behavior and resolve complex composite application problems quickly -- therefore minimizing costly disruptions.
Rob Greer, VP of marketing at ClearApp, will be joined by an OpenDemand technology expert to discuss the risks associated with making changes to the business logic of applications. Business functions within today's complex composite applications are not easily delineated within the application services. Dependencies between services are typically manually maintained, but almost immediately obsolete since relationships between components are changing constantly. Interested parties can register online
"Many industry analysts will tell you that greater than 50% of all downtime is due to uninformed change -- enterprise portal and SOA applications are not immune to this problem," said Don Doane, CEO, OpenDemand. "In our webinar, ClearApp and OpenDemand will discuss best practices for mitigating downtime risks associated with application change management."

Greenline Financial Technologies in ICE Deal
Greenline Financial Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of electronic trading marketplace solutions, announced today that IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) has selected and implemented Greenline's flagship VeriFIX and CertiFIX product suite for testing and certification of exchange FIX protocol connections. VeriFIX and CertiFIX are comprehensive FIX testing and certification systems that, when used together, provide seamless FIX protocol scenario testing, simulation and automated customer certification.
ICE, the leading marketplace for futures and OTC energy contracts, deployed VeriFIX and CertiFIX in an effort to streamline their FIX protocol certification process for customer on-boarding as well as to optimize and automate their internal FIX testing procedures.
Edwin Marcial, chief information officer of ICE, commented, "Rapid volume growth and the migration of new markets onto our trading platform necessitates making customer certification and FIX testing as seamless and efficient as possible. Greenline's product suite allows us to automate many FIX protocol testing and certification processes that were once manual and time consuming for both our customers and ourselves. The interoperability between VeriFIX and CertiFIX allows us to share test scripts across the two products. Internal test scripts become customer certification scripts in no time, resulting in better service and support to our customers."
Josh Tolman, president of Greenline, added, "Many premier organizations in the capital markets industry understand clearly the value that VeriFIX and CertiFIX provides through increasing customer on-boarding throughput while reducing testing and certification overhead. The addition of IntercontinentalExchange, arguably one of the fastest growing exchanges in the world, to this growing list of VeriFIX and CertiFIX users further speaks to the products' value and utility."

Testronic VENUS Blue Simulator Deal
Testronic Labs has acquired exclusive rights to sell and provide services for the VENUS Blue Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) tool in North America, Europe and Japan.
VENUS Blue is the only performance testing tool capable of emulating a large number of MMOG players, enabling developers and publishers to fast-track testing processes for even the most complex MMOG games. Its powerful load testing architecture allows precise control over any network and MMOG host server. There are no limits to the number of virtual users that can be loaded into the testing tool, thus enabling vigorous performance testing in much shorter times and in a far more manageable way compared to open Beta testing.
“Historically MMOG has proved one of the most challenging areas in which to deliver world-class quality assurance,” comments Neil Goodall, CEO for Testronic Labs. “The number of users and the requirement to accurately measure performance under load, has made this a complex area for game developers. VENUS Blue has real benefits for our customers. It not only offers the most intensive and thorough testing service available for online games, but also provides major cost savings as very little human participation is required. We are delighted to have signed this agreement which reflects our strategy to become market leaders in the provision of MMOG testing worldwide.”
Developed by ETRI, a non-profit Korean government-funded research organization, VENUS Blue has taken years of research and significant investment to bring to market. “With their established track record for providing games, network and software testing expertise to leading games publishers, Testronic Labs is ideally positioned to operate as our VENUS Blue distributor and service provider,” comments ETRI’s Senior Research Engineer, Jesse Kim.

User Experience Design Review
Mauro New Media, a leading provider of user experience design and usability testing services for major corporations world wide, published today its annual User Experience Design Review, covering the major happenings in interactive user experience design for 2007. This year's review presents 5 major user experience design solutions that had important short-term, mid-term, or long-term impact on how users interact with technology across various platforms and industry sectors.
"This was one of the most significant years in recent history for innovations in user experience design," said Charles L. Mauro, President of Mauro New Media. Several UED innovations fundamentally altered the way users will interact with important technology platforms in the future. Most notable was the introduction of the iPhone, which changed the way mobile Telco systems are developed and presented to users. Other notable innovations covered gaming applications, where Guitar Hero and the Nintendo Wii were judged to be fundamentally important user experience design innovations in 2007. Additional selected user experience happenings were the major changes at MTV. Com and the new MTV virtual worlds. Google Docs received kudos, but with interesting reservations.
The annual review also makes note of 3 user experience design programs that were significant missteps in 2007. "We try to bring a broader perspective to the importance of user experience design and its impact on corporate profits and, in certain instances, the broader social implications of technology utilization," said Charles L. Mauro, president of Mauro New Media. This year the annual review makes special note of problems with Wall Street's obsession with algorithm-based risk management systems that in recent years have progressively removed the human component from risk assessment. The review also examines Facebook's Beacon system and why it raised concern with users and the national media. Finally, in a new section of the annual review, the authors ask 3 critical questions about the viability of the One Laptop One Child (OLPC) program as a solution to 3rd world education.

Ascade in Croatia Deal
Ascade, a vendor of Billing, Routing and Quality solutions for the Interconnect market today announced an extended co-operation with T-Hrvatski Telekom, the leading telecommunication carrier of Croatia, for deployment of Carrier Cockpit(TM) Quality Management Solutions.
Hrvatski Telekom has already in live operation the Routing & Trading part of the Carrier Cockpit(TM) Suite. The extended co-operation enables T-Hrvatski Telekom to include advanced and pro-active quality measurements as an integrated part of the daily decisions around buying, routing, pricing and selling of international voice minutes.
"Delivering expected quality levels is of great importance for us for all our customer segments. We take pride in serving our demanding retail customers as well as our customers on the wholesale market with reliable and consistent high quality services. At the same time we embrace the trend for possibilities around an increased number of suppliers and number of daily re-routes to reduce the cost level - as long as we can guarantee the quality delivered", says Ljubinka Loncaric, Head of International Voice.
Ascade's Test Calling Solution (TCS) is a powerful system adding value for commercial routing and trading departments, technical network departments as well as for internal and external help desks. It enables a full range of advanced test call capabilities, and can validate the quality of routing schemas with minimum effort and time.
The CLI Verification Service enables pro-active end-to-end testing of CLI-delivery all the way to the end subscriber covering close to 200 mobile networks in more than 50 countries all over the world. This unique distributed end-subscriber Global Test Network (GTN(TM)) for mobile services is developed and managed by Ascade and is constantly built out in close dialogue with Ascade's existing CLI customers.
"With the TCS system and CLI verification Service from Ascade we have developed our ability to work with pro-active quality measurements on both existing suppliers as well as on prospect suppliers not yet implemented in the technical routing. This is of great importance for our daily operations and not least for the planning for our peak summer months where traffic patterns change rapidly according to the Holiday season," Ljubinka Loncaric concludes.
"We are pleased to add yet another TCS and CLI customer, the 11th world-wide since the beginning of last year and the fourth in Europe during the last quarter 2007 alone. The demand from leading International Carriers and Mobile Operators is very high and Ascade is well positioned with both stand alone solutions as well as integrated solutions with our world-leading Carrier Cockpit(TM) suite," says Henrik Anderberg, CEO of Ascade.
