Agitar Software releases Agitator 3.0

BANGALORE: Agitar Software, the leader in enterprise developer testing, has announced the general availability of Agitator 3.0 and Agitator Management Dashboard 3.0. The releases include new Domain Expert technology that makes it possible for developers for the first time to generate highly accurate unit tests in mission-critical application environments such as J2EE and Struts.





Developer testing, the practice where software developers validate software quality at the time they write the code, speeds development, improves software design, and delivers order-of-magnitude reductions in software defects. Agitar has garnered best technology awards from InfoWorld, Java One, SD Times and Software Development magazine.





Agitator 3.0 enables developers to codify knowledge about an application's context when creating unit tests. Contexts can be coding standards, business rules, and/or application frameworks. This breakthrough approach provides higher accuracy and relevance of the created unit tests, reduction in complexity and workload for developers, and significant improvements in


software quality. Agitator 3.0 is pre-packaged with Domain Experts for coding standards, J2EE, Struts, and Log4J.





Agitator also includes a public Domain Expert API, enabling customers and partners to create experts for their own Java environments. Japan's largest J2EE integrator, EC-One (JASDAQ: 2310), has created an Agitator Domain Expert for its c-Bank application framework:





Domain Experts are a uniquely powerful way to capture the context of the environment in which unit testing takes place. Our cFramework Domain Expert makes it much easier to unit test new enterprise applications developed against cFramework, with higher levels of code coverage and stronger tests," said Eihiro Saishu, president and CEO of EC-One.

"Agitar's API allowed us to quickly create our cFramework Expert. This makes it easy to bring the value of unit testing to our key c-Bank customers as part of their development process."
