Macromedia (Nasdaq:MACR): -- Mercury Application Delivery products
will integrate with and support Macromedia Flex 2 product line --
New relationship helps development teams optimize the quality and
performance of rich Internet applications Macromedia (Nasdaq:MACR)
and Mercury Interactive Corporation (Nasdaq:MERQE) today announced
an agreement to integrate Mercury Quality Center(TM) and Mercury
Performance Center(TM) products with the new Macromedia(R) Flex(TM)
2 product line. Mercury has licensed Flex technology to help
deliver rich data visualization dashboards within future Mercury
products. Macromedia has licensed Mercury Quality Center and
Mercury Performance Center products for use in the development and
deployment of its Flex product line. The integrated Macromedia and
Mercury offerings will help joint customers optimize both the
quality and performance of rich Internet applications. "Macromedia
is committed to providing best-of-class technology for building
more effective end-user experiences," said David Mendels, general
manager, Macromedia. "Integrating the Macromedia Flex 2 product
line with Mercury Application Delivery offerings will allow Flex
development teams to harness the industry's leading quality
management automation software products for a more consistent,
engaging, and responsive end-user experience." "High quality
experience applications are critical in delivering the right
business outcomes from IT," said Christopher Lochhead, chief
marketing officer, Mercury. "We are excited to work with Macromedia
to help our joint customers optimize the quality and performance of
their rich Internet applications developed with the Macromedia Flex
product line." For functional testing, quality assurance teams will
be able to use Mercury QuickTest Professional(TM), part of Mercury
Quality Center, to create effective, object-oriented test scripts
and play them back on each build of the application. Full Flex
component object recognition and property testing allows these
teams to reliably record and play back tests that validate the Flex
application is running as expected. Integrations with Mercury
LoadRunner(R), part of Mercury Performance Center, will help
support performance testing of Flex applications, whether the
applications integrate with back-end data using XML, SOAP web
services, or the Macromedia AMF binary protocol. Mercury Quality
Center allows customers to automate software quality management
across a wide range of application environments, provide visibility
of quality projects, and align the priorities of quality assurance
professionals with the requirements of the business. Mercury
Performance Center allows customers to automate application load
testing and helps verify that applications will meet business
performance requirements. The Flex 2 product line and Macromedia
Flash(R) Player 8.5 are the foundation for building effective rich
Internet applications that blend the responsiveness of desktop
software, the cross-platform reach of the web, and the breathtaking
expressiveness of the Flash Platform. Flash Player is currently
installed on over 600 million desktops and mobile devices globally.
Mercury Quality Center integration will be licensed as part of the
Flex Enterprise Services 2 product offering. Flex Builder(TM) 2,
the new Eclipse-based development environment for the Flex
Framework, integrates with a wide variety of application life cycle
offerings, including Ant, CVS, FlexUnit, and Mercury Quality
Center. Flex developers can now implement best development
practices in their toolset of choice. The integration will be
delivered with the Flex 2 product line and upcoming versions of
Mercury QuickTest Professional and Mercury LoadRunner products.
Developers can download public alpha versions of Flex Builder 2 and
Flash Player 8.5 on Macromedia Labs (announced today; see separate
