Compliance Service Comprehensively Crawls Large Corporate Web Sites
San Mateo, Calif., — January 23, 2005 — Keynote Systems (Nasdaq: KEYN), the worldwide leader in services that improve online business performance and communications technologies, today announced a brand new release of its WebIntegrity® service, which incorporates dynamic navigation permitting the WebIntegrity scanning technology to move into areas of a Web site not previously accessible through existing software solutions available in the market.
Using WebIntegrity 4.0, companies can ensure the quality of content for thousands of Web site pages, including forms, checkout pages and targeted secure areas, by finding broken links, bad content and privacy and compliance issues — areas previously almost invisible to common quality checking tools. WebIntegrity scales with large enterprise Web sites, and supports complex content such as rich Internet applications at a much lower cost than with traditional software solutions and offers a much needed capital expenditure break for companies on tight budgets.
WebIntegrity can spider along paths that require deliberate client interaction in order to move to the next page. This new scripted option in the scan, provides extensive dynamic navigation support, deeper penetration through form and search fields, paths generated with JavaScript and forms and submissions used for navigation.
"Checking complex Web sites for quality, usability, and compliance can be difficult and time-consuming, even with sophisticated web content management tools," said Andi Mann, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. "WebIntegrity neatly complements these tools by substantially automating this process, and will take a lot of effort out of Web site design and maintenance."
"Consumers expect speed, accuracy, easy navigation and privacy protection. This is the same whether they are interacting with a company in person, on the phone, by email or over the Web," said Carol Carpenter, senior director of product management at Keynote. "As Web sites become larger and more complex with the programmable Web, site owners need an easy way to be certain that their pages meet corporate and government standards. WebIntegrity provides that ability in a cost-effective manner."
As a hosted service or an appliance, WebIntegrity enables site managers to gain control over Web site content more quickly and reliably, reduce bandwidth costs, support design compatibility and assure compliance with Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
