CALCUTTA: Atesto Technologies is putting together an automated Web testing
service that will not only fill the lacunae in traditional Web testing but also
reduce cost and inefficiencies. With poorly built Web sites raising concerns
about Web security and legal liability through their faulty transaction systems,
Atesto Technologies will address the needs of this market. The company, based in
Freemont, California and headed by founder and CEO Dave Mukherjee, has a
worldwide network that helps businesses assure the quality and performance of
their Web sites and Web-based applications by providing them the necessary tools
and infrastructure.
The continuous need for monitoring the proper functioning of Web sites and
applications has led to the growth of a $2.3 billion Web testing market.
"We are creating a new standard in Web testing with our comprehensive
testing services," says Dave Mukherjee. "We have built a development
center in Calcutta and are intending to market them at places like Mumbai and
Bangalore. Atesto is helping e-businesses reduce costs, achieve faster marketing
time and quality performance in end-customer use."
"The technology is based on Java, Linux and COM/DCOM among others. The
database module stores test-scripts, users’ account information and generated
result data. It has a middle COM/DCOM layer performing database operations. With
active clustering, COM/DCOM components are kept under MTS and the core database
under SQL 7.0," added Dave. "The testing of any software development
process requires extensive resources in terms of manpower and systems, process
management overheads and resultant investments. Atesto has optimized the use of
these capital," said Dave.
