Mentora to Present at Atlanta Quality Assurance Association
Dan Downing to present on Performance Testing with OpenSTA on Nov. 14.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 7, 2006 -- Mentora Group, Inc., a leading application hosting and testing firm, announced today that Dan Downing will present "Performance Testing Web Applications with Open Source Tools" at Atlanta Quality Assurance Association's (AQAA) monthly meeting on November 14, at the Dunwoody Library in Dunwoody, GA.
"We've seen tremendous growth in interest for OpenSTA by mid-market companies that simply can't justify the cost of leading commercial products such as Mercury LoadRunner," said Dan Downing, Vice President of Testing for Mentora. "Open source tools like OpenSTA offer excellent alternatives for load testing Web applications, and we believe we should help broaden its exposure and teach people to use it effectively. The AQAA meeting is an excellent venue to promote this tool."
"The AQAA is very excited to have Dan Downing, a recognized expert in performance testing, present on this hot topic. Scalability and performance issues can be expensive and tricky to isolate, so we are very interested in hearing about Dan's innovative approach," stated Michael Cooper, President of AQAA.
Downing adds, "OpenSTA is community-supported and freely downloadable at www.opensta.org . We use it for our value eCommerce load testing services and also offer OpenSTA Web-based training, reserving Mercury LoadRunner for our premium performance testing for .NET, java, WebSphere MQ and ERP applications."
