"Between the level of metrics that WebLOAD provides for BEA WebLogic Server and the openness of the solution, our joint customers can have better insight and flexibility to get the most out of the WebLogic Platform," said Bill Spain, Vice President of Sales for RadView, as his company announced today that RadView's WebLOAD 7.1 has completed the BEA Validation Program for BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1.

"We look forward to our future collaboration with BEA," Spain added.

RadView's WebLOAD uses load and stress testing technology designed to evaluate scalability characteristics and derive capacity estimates for applications performing under real-world conditions. For example, RadView's WebLOAD has been validated to capture performance metrics directly from BEA WebLogic Server. This can help provide RadView customers with greater insight into application performance.

The BEA Validation Program is designed to provide a testing framework to verify the technical readiness of partner solutions that complement, operate with, or extend the BEA WebLogic Platform. Partners can validate the integration of their software applications and solutions with BEA WebLogic Platform or test the interoperability of Java controls and integrated development environment (IDE) extensions with BEA WebLogic Workshop. The BEA Validation Program is open to all partners enrolled in the BEA Partner Program.

"By validating WebLOAD on BEA WebLogic Platform 8.1, RadView has taken an important step that can help reduce total cost of ownership for our mutual customers," said Larry Aronovitz, Director Worldwide Partner Program, BEA Systems. "BEA's validation program is designed to help accelerate adoption of partners' solutions and increase market opportunities by helping to assure mutual customers that these partners' technology solutions are designed to integrate with the BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform," he continued.
