WebKing

WebKing Product Overview

An automated Web testing tool suite that provides comprehensive test and analysis of Web sites and Web applications to ensure they meet the reliability, security, and performance goals necessary to effectively support your business.

An integrated, multiple module system, Parasoft WebKing addresses four key areas of test and analysis: Web site risk analysis, functional testing, load and performance testing, and security analysis. For Web site risk analysis, it automatically scans and analyzes a Web site or Web asset for quality, security, accessibility, branding and intranet standards compliance serving as an automated audit of Web site content and structure. For functionality verification/validation without scripting, WebKing allows users to record critical user click paths by following them in a browser, then it automatically configures and executes functional/regression tests that verify paths and page contents while ignoring insignificant differences. For load and performance testing without scripting, WebKing provides intelligent virtual users and sophisticated ready-to-run web site load test scenarios. Users can easily customize these initial tests to use different paths, tools, traffic combinations, load distributions, and so on. For security analysis, WebKing automatically generates security penetration tests designed to uncover security vulnerabilities in the execution and structure of Web applications. Custom attack scenarios can be created to simulate specific application logic attacks your application might be subject to.

WebKing improves Web application quality throughout the software lifecycle and improves productivity across the entire team. Developers can use it to perform Web testing/analysis on each application unit (servlet, JSP, etc.) as they write it, and QA team members can use it to perform application-wide verification. Moreover, WebKing works as part of a comprehensive team-wide Automated Error Prevention solution that reduces delivery delays and improves the quality and security of complex, multi-language enterprise applications.
