QASymphony Unveils 3 Tiers of Software Testing Tools

Leave a comment

Scalable tools for QA people: qTest Project, qTest Pro, and qTest Enterprise, suit every size development project and organization.

Atlanta, GA (USA), May 08, 2014 — QASymphony ( http://www.qasymphony.com ), a leading provider of test management platforms for agile development teams, today formally announced a major new update to its qTest test management platform. This update provides extensive integration capabilities through the formal release of its APIs, support for test automation tools such as Selenium and testNG, and features that help simplify management of large global teams.

Along with new capabilities, QASymphony is also offering the qTest test management solution as three separate editions. qTest Project, Pro, and Enterprise options provide testers with the flexibility they need to gain the benefits across different testing scenarios and Agile strategies. Available in the cloud or installed on-premise, the SaaS tools start as low as $1 per user per month.

While qTest Project is geared for small teams of less than 10 users working on single projects, qTest Pro is for small to mid-size teams looking to upscale and improve test management. qTest Enterprise, as the name implies, is designed to support many users on multiple projects and integrate with other enterprise-level apps.

“We’ve learned a few things from listening to our 8,000+ users, and the one clear message that stands out is that testers in various size teams want a testing tool tailor-made to fit the way they work. The ‘one-size fits all’ approach doesn’t work,” says Vu Lam, QASymphony co-founder. “In short, the qTest platform with various options to choose from enable teams to communicate better and test faster in agile environments.”

The qTest platform provides a collaborative work environment for teams to manage requirements, design test cases, plan test execution, track defects, and generate status and quality-metrics reports. With support for both scripted and exploratory testing, qTest is the only platform that lets you add innovative exploratory to manual and automated test management, creating a consolidated solution that accelerates the testing process to keep pace with today’s rapid agile software development.

Pricing and Support:
Available today, qTest Project ($1/mo.) includes 24×7 email tech support. qTest Pro ($29 per user per month, billed annually) and qTest Enterprise ($49/mo.) additionally include 8×5 online and 8×5 telephone tech support services. Enterprise option includes automation support via TestNG and Selenium services (http://testng.org/doc/selenium.html).

qTest eXplorer, an add-on to qTest that automatically captures a tester’s actions in both text steps and screen captures, is offered at $38/mo. Pay-as-you-go options are available.

qTest arrives fully featured with pre-built integration with popular development lifecycle tools and defect tracking systems with modules that include:

* Test Planning
* Requirement management
* Test case management
* Test execution
* Defect tracking
* Dashboards and Reports
* Built in workflows and collaboration

XebiaLabs Survey Shows Automation and Continuous Delivery are Top IT Projects

Leave a comment

More than 50% of respondents say lack of integration between tools and teams is main challenge.

Boston, MA (USA), May 02, 2014 — XebiaLabs today released the results of its major annual survey that explores trends in software delivery and what is most urgently needed to accelerate and improve these processes. Respondents comprised more than a thousand Dev and Ops managers and C-level executives from banking, energy, manufacturing and other industries.

“From this extensive survey we’ve found that Continuous Delivery is a valid and major initiative for IT organizations in 2014. So if you’re looking to automate that process, you’re in good company,” said Coert Baart, XebiaLabs CEO. “Survey respondents believe there’s plenty of room for improvement in terms of reliability and speed in the application delivery process.”

The majority of respondents indicated that their release process is still largely manual and filled with errors. Participants also see a significant challenge in the lack of internal knowledge and expertise around DevOps and Continuous Delivery, and are looking not just for tooling, but knowledgeable partners to provide guidance and vision.

The results reveal that most companies want to implement more automation and move to Continuous Delivery in 2014. One motivation stands out: once development of a feature or fix is complete, about a third of people said it still takes their organization between a week (32%) and a month (36%) to get it live.

High on the list of challenges cited: “Releasing features is too expensive to carry out as frequently as would be desirable.”

The survey found that while companies are investing more in automating the process of application delivery, they’re increasingly realizing that deployment is only one piece of the puzzle. Most companies now see the rest of the puzzle — the need to embrace the practices and tools that will enable them to improve their software delivery.

Key Findings:
* Automation and Continuous Delivery will be the top two projects planned for 2014. Companies want to deliver higher quality software. Current release processes (largely manual) are filled with error and delaying software delivery.

* While cost and time to market are always important factors, the quality of software delivery will be the key priority for IT organizations.

* There is a clear market drive toward automation in the software delivery process. Lack of automated deployment and testing — and the existence of too many manual-based actions along with misconfigured environments — are big concerns for most companies.

* More than 50% of respondents cited lack of integration between tools and teams, while almost 40% said, “Too many errors/too much rework.”

* Companies expect to deliver up to 20% more applications in 2014 but don’t expect they will be able to hire extra people to support the increase.

* Organizations are looking for guidance and thought leadership alongside new tooling

threatTRANSFORM Open Source App Jumpstarts STIX-Based Threat Data Classification

Leave a comment

The creators of threatTRANSFORM today announced the release of their open source application designed to streamline the creation, compiling, and publishing of STIX datasets.

San Jose, CA (USA), May 02, 2014 — The creators of threatTRANSFORM (http://www.threattransform.com) today announced the release of their open source application designed to streamline the creation, compiling, and publishing of STIX datasets. Anyone struggling to manage security event classification can utilize the free open source threatTRANSFORM application to improve their MSSP, SIEM, and other big data cyber threat intelligence, management and response programs with the industry standard framework – Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX™).

STIX is designed for cyber defenders, cyber threat analysts, malware analysts, security vendors, and information security practitioners in defending their networks and systems against cyber threats. STIX provides a common language for describing cyber threat information so it can be shared, stored, and otherwise used in a consistent manner that facilitates automation. threatTRANSFORM allows organizations to begin classifying threat data in an industry-standard way for consistent reporting, analysis and sharing.

“We’ve been working with the open source version of threatTRANSFORM from the very beginning and totally support their commitment to opening it up to everyone – we’re using threatTRANSFORM to integrate our real-time cyber attack intelligence into threat platforms,” said Maurits Lucas, InTELL Business Director at FOX-IT. “For us it was more than the ground-breaking work in using STIX in web platforms and the excellent framework they provide; the threatTRANSFORM guys have provided great support and advice which has helped us to scale our own unique InTELL portal content across multiple continents.”

threatTRANSFORM was created in 2014 by Brad Lindow, Timothy Plocinski, and Demetrios Lazarikos (Laz). Based on the MIT Open Source License, threatTRANSFORM was created out of the need for streamlining the creation of STIX datasets. Everything from analyzing complex information to sifting through machine data, the threatTRANSFORM application provides a powerful template engine. threatTRANSFORM is open source, free and works in nearly any web server. It’s the quickest way to get going with STIX today.

“We’d previously been using a proprietary mechanism of data exchange,” said Rich Reybok, SVP of Engineering for Vorstack. “threatTRANSFORM has really helped us to quickly transition to a preferred STIX standards based method of describing cyber threat information between customers, aiding product adoption.”

threatTRANSFORM has been built from the ground up for ease-of-use, both for the end user and the developer extending the cyber intelligence application code. To begin integrating threatTRANSFORM and take control of your STIX data, please visit http://www.threattransform.com.

About STIX:
The Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX™) is a language for describing cyber threat information in a standardized and structured manner. STIX characterizes an extensive set of cyber threat information, to include indicators of adversary activity (e.g., IP addresses and file hashes) as well as additional contextual information regarding threats (e.g., adversary Tactics, Techniques and Procedures [TTPs]; exploitation targets; Campaigns; and Courses of Action [COA]) that together more completely characterize the cyber adversary’s motivations, capabilities, and activities, and thus, how to best defend against them. For more information, please visit http://stix.mitre.org.

About Blue Lava Consulting and Blue Lava Labs:
Blue Lava Consulting, and Blue Lava Labs, are proud sponsors of the threatTRANSFORM open source project and application.

Blue Lava Consulting works in a strategic partnership with organizations to assess IT Security programs, IT risks, and build an efficient set of IT Security and Fraud solutions.

Added Features: SmartTOP Convertible Top Controller for Mercedes-Benz SLK R172

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP add-on Convertible Top Controller module for Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 allows top operation while driving with just a touch of the button. The top can also be opened or closed from the original factory key remote. Mods4cars just added another useful feature to the product: Motorized side mirrors can now be folded in and out remotely and fully automatically.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), May 02, 2014 — The aftermarket SmartTOP module offered by Mods4cars for Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 makes it possible to open or close the hard top while driving at speeds of up to 60 km/h (~38 mph). Thanks to the one-touch operation, a quick touch is sufficient to start the operation. The top can also be controlled from the original factory remote, using long range RF signals and with full automatic one-touch mode.

Just recently aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars added another feature to the module: The side mirrors (factory option for motorized mirrors is required) can now be folded in or out automatically. Two different modes of operation are selectable. They can either be folded in by using a quick button sequence on the remote or they always automatically fold in when the car is locked. Upon unlocking and opening the driver’s door they automatically fold back out.

“We are happy to be able to offer our customers even more comfort and convenience by adding this new feature.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “It is now possible to fold the mirrors in at any time from the remote as needed.” he continues. The full-auto mode saves time and protects the car for people always having to park in tight spaces.

Existing customers get to benefit from the new feature the same way new ones do. All SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers come equipped with a USB port for quick and easy firmware updates and product configuration via support software available for PC and Mac. Like all other updates, this one is free of charge and available online on the outfit’s website. SmartTOP is a smart investment; owners will always benefit from added features down the road.

The SmartTOP module for the Mercedes-Benz SLK R172 offers a host of bonus features and benefits: Extended range of the remote (RF instead of IR signals), remote control commands for top and windows independently from each other, all 4 windows can be raised while the top is down and it is possible to program the module to give a quick horn chirp confirmation when locking or unlocking the car. An extended mode can be activated which allows top operation to continue while the engine is being started or stopped. Also the entire module can be temporarily disabled via the convenient clear text in-dash setup-menu while retaining all user configurable settings. The kit comes with a full plug-and-play wiring adapter that makes installing and removing possible without leaving any traces or damage.

Mods4cars offers SmartTOP Convertible Top kits for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and Volkswagen: Pretty much all popular modern convertible and roadster models are covered. Kits are available for previous versions of the SLK (R170) and SLK (R171) as well. The SmartTOP kit retails for 249 Euros + tax.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

InPreflight Pro 2.11.7 for Adobe InDesign Improves Startup Process

Leave a comment

Zevrix Solutions announces InPreflight Pro 2.11.7, a maintenance update to its document preparation solution for Adobe InDesign. Described as “delightfully simple to use” by Macworld, InPreflight is an all-in-one solution to check InDesign documents, collect them for output and ship to final destination. The new version improves the app’s startup process and ensures that InPreflight Pro menu in InDesign can be created when multiple versions of InDesign are open.

Toronto (ON), Canada (April 29, 2014) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of InPreflight 2.11.7, a maintenance update to its document preparation solution for Adobe InDesign. InPreflight is a powerful all-in-one solution to check InDesign documents, collect them for output and ship to final destination. InPreflight helps graphics and print professionals prevent costly mistakes by uncovering hidden problems, as well as save disk space through smart batch-packaging and reduce production time and costs.

The new version fixes an issue in which the InPreflight Pro menu, which lets users launch InPreflight directly from InDesign, could not be created when multiple versions of InDesign were open. With previous versions, users had to close multiple InDesign copies to avoid an error during InDesign’s startup.

“While many graphic artists have heard of or used other preflight applications, they tend to be overly complicated,” writes James Dempsey in Macworld. “InPreflight is delightfully simple to use and does its job well.”

InPreflight Pro provides a complete document preparation solution for printers, prepress bureaus, ad agencies and publishing houses.

Automatic batch packaging:
InPreflight Pro can collect multiple InDesign jobs automatically with the option to package all files into one folder, eliminating the need to collect the same links multiple times for each design and saving users gigabytes of disk space and hours of production time.

Quality control:
InPreflight quickly checks InDesign documents for common problems such as missing links, fonts, unwanted colors, illegal link locations and more.

Graphic preflight reports:
Users can print graphic preflight reports and save them as PDF files with the option to include a detailed paragraph styles report for typography professionals.

Pricing and Availability:
InPreflight Pro can be purchased from Zevrix website for US$99.95 (Studio version: $39.95), as well as from authorized resellers. Trial version is available for download. Update is free for licensed users of version 2, and US$55.98 from earlier versions. InPreflight is available for Mac OS X 10.5-10.9, a Universal Binary, and works with Adobe InDesign CS3-CC.

Leave a comment

Zevrix Solutions announces LinkOptimizer 4.9, a major maintenance update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer allows to reduce the size of InDesign links and speed up processing by eliminating excess image data. It also performs image color conversion and sharpening, converts file formats and more. The new version introduces a major upgrade to the app’s core engine, which allows LinkOptimizer to support latest advanced technologies and future system releases.

Toronto (ON), Canada (April 23, 2014) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of LinkOptimizer 4.9, a major maintenance update to its workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs.

The new version introduces a major upgrade to the application’s core processing engine. While this version doesn’t offer any new features, the update allows LinkOptimizer to support latest advanced technologies and future system releases, as well as improves its performance and stability.

“I have used LinkOptimizer since 2008,” says Shari Barnhart of Rainbowtech Designs in St. Petersburg, Florida. “It made a large book project I was working on so much easier to prepare for the printing service.”

LinkOptimizer works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

–scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign,
-change their resolution to 300 dpi,
–convert RGB images to CMYK,
-apply color profile,
-resave JPEG images as TIFF,
-run a Photoshop Action on each image.

In addition, the software can apply sharpening filters, merge layers and delete hidden ones, and process copies of InDesign documents and images instead of original files. As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually; accelerate document output; reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

“World’s Smallest all-in-one phone charger”

Leave a comment

Uiee launches new portable charger for smart phones and mobile devices. A backup charger and wall charger combined, taking the title of “world’s smallest”.

Dublin, Ireland, April 22, 2014 – The need for charging phones and other devices has become somewhat of a necessity nowadays with smartphones that have larger, more powerful screens and faster speeds using up more and more power.

There have been many new products that are aimed at allowing people to charge their phones on the go and these products are becoming smaller and smaller, to the extent where some have even become pocket sized.

The most recent entry into the market is a portable charger, called Uiee. It’s both a portable battery and wall charger allowing people to charge on-the-go and also at home.

It features a retractable cable (available for micro-usb or apple’s lightning connector). There are also fold-out prongs for plugging it into a wall socket and a clip at the back for clipping it to belt’s, pockets, or bag straps. It’s one of the first all-in-one charger’s to become wearable.

It has joined the growing group of pocket sized chargers and has aimed to take this trend one step further by losing the need for carrying a separate cable, its reason for introducing a built-in cable. The product features a round curvy design, as opposed to the traditional block shaped one. The built-in battery is expected to give the average phone around three hours of extra power.

It’s available in three different styles; Persian blue, Crimson red and Forest green. It comes in a U.S. version and an E.U. version.

It’s being prepared for pre-order at a special price of $40 for early customers with the standard price at $50. You can get emailed when it’s available by leaving your email at uieepower.com.

Zevrix PDF Checkpoint 1.6.5 Delivers Activation Fixes

Leave a comment

Zevrix Solutions announces PDF Checkpoint 1.6.5, a maintenance update to its PDF preflight and conversion solution for Mac OS. Remarkably fast, PDF Checkpoint automatically preflights, converts to images, splits and optimizes Adobe PDF files. The program is equally suitable to process hundreds of files as well as single PDF documents. The new version addresses an issue in which PDF Checkpoint users could not activate their registered software on certain systems.

Toronto (ON), Canada (April 18, 2014) — Zevrix Solutions today announces PDF Checkpoint 1.6.5, a maintenance update to its PDF preflighting and conversion tool. Remarkably fast, PDF Checkpoint automatically preflights, converts to images, splits and optimizes multiple Adobe PDF files. PDF Checkpoint is an ideal program for users who need fast, affordable and easy-to-use software for efficient PDF workflows.

The new version addresses an issue in which PDF Checkpoint users could not activate their registered software on certain systems. Users reports lead to the discovery that on some machines PDF Checkpoint behaved like a sandboxed application, which prevented the activation engine from connecting to the Internet. This issue is now completely resolved.

PDF Checkpoint is designed to automate and simplify PDF workflows of publishers, ad agencies, prepress houses, graphic designers and printers, and offers the following key features:

–Batch preflighting and conversion of PDF files.
-View all PDF fonts, colors, images and metadata at a glance.
-Route files by preflight results into success and error folders.
–Split files into single page PDFs.
-Export PDF as images with specific resolution, color and page scale.
-Convert PDF color mode using ICC profiles.

For example, users can preflight a folder of PDF files and convert them to TIFF images at 300 dpi while scaling each page by 50%. Or optimize documents for the web and mobile devices while reducing file size dramatically by downsampling images to the screen resolution.

Pricing and availability:
PDF Checkpoint can be purchased from the Zevrix Solutions website for US$49.95, as well as from authorized resellers. PDF Checkpoint is bundled with free Graphic Inspector software (a $40 value). The update is free to licensed users. Trial is also available for download. PDF Checkpoint requires Mac OS X 10.5-10.9 (some features require Mac OS X 10.7 or later).
