SEGU Segue Software (MM)

Segue Software (NASDAQ-SCM: SEGU), the leader in Software Quality Optimization(TM) (SQO(TM)), announced today at SAP(R) (NYSE:SAP) TechEd '05 that SilkPerformer(R), Segue's solution for automated load and performance testing, has been certified for integration with the SAP NetWeaver(R) open integration and application platform by SAP AG. SilkPerformer 7.2 underwent rigorous testing at the SAP Integration and Certification Center (ICC) in Walldorf, Germany, for integration of its testing capabilities with SAP Extended Computer-Aided Test Tool (SAP eCATT). Attendees at this week's SAP TechEd '05 Boston conference, the largest SAP educational event, can see the newly certified SilkPerformer in action at Booth #64. SilkPerformer is a powerful--yet easy to use--enterprise-class performance testing solution for optimizing the quality of mission-critical applications, such as those offered by SAP. Visual script generation techniques and the ability to test multiple application environments with thousands of concurrent users allow users to thoroughly test an enterprise application's availability, accuracy, performance and scalability before it's deployed--regardless of its size and complexity. Powerful diagnostic tools and management reports help to isolate performance issues and enable faster resolution--thereby minimizing test cycles, accelerating project deployment and meeting user expectations. SAP eCATT is part of SAP NetWeaver and is the development environment for testing SAP solutions. SilkPerformer's integration with SAP eCATT allows testing activities to be managed from one central location, providing greater control and visibility into the quality process and speeding application deployment. SilkPerformer 7.2, containing the SAP eCATT integration, is available immediately. "Initial implementations of SAP solutions are often large, enterprise-wide projects, encompassing business-critical processes where system performance and availability are key," said Andre Pino, chief marketing officer, Segue Software. "Similarly, maintenance of SAP solutions can mean regular upgrades to the SAP application and/or underlying IT hardware and software infrastructure. In all cases, it is important that thorough testing of the system occur prior to deployment in order to guarantee business process continuity. A solution such as SilkPerformer can help ensure smooth roll-outs, reduce deployment cycle time and make sure the quality and performance expectations of the user community are met from day one of deployment." Through its ICCs, SAP provides a rich set of integration technologies that enable third-party vendors to integrate their software with SAP solutions seamlessly, enabling higher customer satisfaction and a robust SAP solution-based ecosystem. The regional ICCs provide third-party vendors with integration services, including access to test systems, integration consulting and integration certification. "Segue's certification demonstrates our commitment to the SAP user community and to being closely aligned with SAP's technology," continued Pino. "SAP applications are among the most widely installed enterprise solutions and, because they support critical business processes, represent a significant investment for an organization. Segue can help these organizations further maximize ROI from investments in SAP solutions by optimizing the quality and performance of their installations."
