NEW YORK CITY, Global Internet Performance Conference — October 27, 2003 –— Keynote Systems (Nasdaq “KEYN”), the worldwide leader in Web performance measurement and management services, today announced Test Perspective® for Siebel 7, a new Siebel-validated load testing service that utilizes Keynote’s load-generating infrastructure to help companies validate the performance of their entire Siebel 7 application infrastructure.
Keynote Test Perspective allows enterprise customers to cost-effectively load test and optimize the performance and scalability of Siebel eBusiness applications using Keynote’s pay-as-you-go service, rather than more costly load testing software provided by Mercury Interactive.
Test Perspective for Siebel 7 underscores Keynote’s commitment to bring enterprise customers Total Performance Management (TPM) through a growing portfolio of cost-effective Web performance measurement and management services. The overarching goal of TPM is to enable the enterprise to efficiently link IT resources to e-business goals.
“ Keynote is partnering with Siebel Systems to provide Global 2000 companies with an affordable load testing solution that accelerates Siebel deployments and eliminates the risk of unexpected performance problems once rolled out,” said Carol Carpenter, director of product management for Keynote.
The integration of Keynote Test Perspective with Siebel eBusiness Applications gives customers a faster and more cost-effective approach for load testing Siebel eBusiness Applications prior to deployment. Test Perspective offers a short learning curve and requires a very small initial investment because of its pay-as-you-go hosted services-based approach. Customers pay only for the load testing they use by renting Keynote’s load-generating infrastructure, instead of purchasing software. Test Perspective offers customers the benefits of a powerful script recorder, an intuitive load testing portal and the ability to simulate both local and remote end users. The Keynote Test Perspective service is a significant alternative to the costs, headaches and time investment involved in procuring, configuring and running complex load testing software solutions.
Availability and Pricing
Keynote Test Perspective is available immediately. Pricing starts at under USD $10,000 for load testing at 100 virtual users.
