RadView Software Ltd. announced that its WebLOAD Professional has become the industry's first full-featured product to load test applications developed with Adobe Flex 2 software and the AMF3 protocol. RadView develops performance testing software that meets the needs of the most demanding development environments and those with maximum load requirements. RadView is a pioneer of testing tools for internet applications.

WebLOAD's support for Adobe Flex covers all phases of load testing and enables users to record, edit, parameterize and load test their Flex applications. RadView has developed a range of Add-Ons to meet the load testing needs of specialized technology environments such as Oracle Forms, Multimedia and Adobe Flex 2. Throughout the design and execution of the tests the WebLOAD Flex Add-On allows you to simulate different remote services under load and helps you analyze traffic and identify bottlenecks – essential for improving the stability and performance of application servers running in the production environment.

Adobe Flex 2 is a powerful cross-platform, open source application development framework that enables enterprises to create RIAs that dramatically enhance user experience and improve the way people interact with the web. Add-Ons bring the full power of WebLOAD to the specialized environment, providing full coverage during the authoring, execution and analysis phases of the test. In keeping with our standards-based approach, WebLOAD Add-Ons are developed using our published Software Development Kit.

"Being the industry's first vendor with load testing support for Adobe Flex 2 is part of RadView's overall product strategy. With an innovative product based on open standards and an agile development team, we've managed to be first to market with a Flex 2 load testing solution. This helps us to keep meeting our customers' needs as new technologies are introduced to the market," said Yochai Hacohen, CEO for RadView.

"We have seen rapid adoption of Flex-based applications by leading enterprises worldwide," said Dave Gruber, group product marketing manager for Flex at Adobe. "Flex is the industry's most advanced framework for building cross-operating system RIAs. RadView's load testing solution for Flex 2 enables enterprises to effectively test their Flex applications, helping to continue to facilitate the widespread adoption of Flex-based RIAs."

WebLOAD Flex Add-On enables viewing, editing, debugging and automatic verification of both the messages sent to the server and the AMF response returned from the server. During execution of the tests, WebLOAD allows users to monitor run-time statistics and it's Management Console can also monitor pre-defined statistics for application services already integrated into the Flex environment such as XMLHTTP SOAP, Web Services, databases and more.
