Send Word Now Selects Empirix to Test and Monitor Critical On-Demand Alerting and Response Services
Company Reduces Test Cycle Times by 6x With Empirix's Automated Solutions
BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwire - October 1, 2007) - Empirix®
Inc. announced today that Send Word Now, a leading provider of on-
demand alerting and response services, has selected Empirix web application
testing and monitoring solutions to ensure the performance, scalability and
reliability of its SWN Alert Service.
Hundreds of well-known organizations including Wal-Mart, Bank of New York
and the Sears Tower rely on Send Word Now's Alerting and Response services
to ensure the safety of their customers and employees in case of an
emergency. Given the mission-critical nature of emergency and everyday
communications, the performance, scalability and reliability of the
communications infrastructure is paramount. Jeremy Sterns, Chief Technology
Officer for Send Word Now, reports that his QA staff's efficiency and
effectiveness have soared since implementing Empirix's e-TEST® suite for
testing and OneSight® for monitoring.
"Our QA team used to test manually, and it was a time-consuming process
because we are so meticulous," said Sterns. "With our Empirix software,
we've been able to reduce test cycles by a factor of six while improving
test coverage. Instead of performing repetitive tasks or struggling with
less capable tools, our staff can dedicate time to crafting test cases
interactively. We're very happy with our decision to go with Empirix, and
feel very confident about the resulting quality of our software platform."
Sterns reported that Send Word Now selected Empirix based on several
factors, including its built-in support for Web services, its ease-of-use,
and the quality of its technical support.
Larry Timm, General Manager of the Empirix Web Business Unit, noted that
due to the nature of Send Word Now's services, their quality requirements
are unusually high. "Send Word Now provides a fantastic service for
emergency management, and they are understandably very selective about
their vendors," said Timm. "We are proud to have been tapped for this
project."
Empirix's e-TEST suite was designed specifically for pre-deployment testing
of Web applications and Web services. Its OneSight solution was designed
for post-deployment monitoring of those applications. Both products have
won numerous accolades from customers, analysts and press for their
ease-of-use and ability to find potential problems that traditional testing
and monitoring tools miss.
