BALTIMORE — The release of new analytic software from Vanward Technologies was among the highlights of the exhibition at BZ Media’s first Software Test & Performance Conference held here at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor last month.

The conference drew more than 380 attendees to the three days of tutorials, classes and exhibits, according to Donna Esposito, director of events for BZ Media, which is also the parent company of SD Times and Software Test & Performance magazine.

At the conference, Vanward officially released Covergence 2.0, its quality assurance dashboard designed to provide users with a view of application quality early in the life cycle, according to company founder and CEO Andrew Glover. “It’s not enough just to test code,” he said. “You have to have visibility into what’s being tested. Is the code brittle? Is it complex? This gives QA the heads-up while the application is being built, and the developers can spend extra time writing test cases in those particular areas.”

Wily Technology discussed the release of version 5.3 of its Introscope product, as part of its new Management 360 collaborative application management solution. New Introscope features include the proprietary SmartStor data persistence mechanism. Before SmartStor, users of earlier versions of the tool could write only to flat files or JDBC.

The company also added a command-line workstation for scheduling and executing tasks, and a Browser Response Time Adapter that allows users to get metrics on HTTP transactions from the browser to the database and back again. A new 360-degree data view gives all stakeholders more insight into an application’s behavior, according to senior sales engineer Hugh O’Brien. “Whatever view of the data, whatever the role, we match the views to the role, in real time,” he said.

SCM tool vendor AccuRev announced the release late last month of version 3.5.5 of its solution, with enhanced change package capabilities that allow users to follow a file’s history in terms of the packages as well as promoting changes by complete package. A new feature will allow users to shift data containers into an archive, removing them from the “depot” area. Also, the AccuRev server will allow users to employ a utility for removing a depot—all files, versions and streams associated with the depot—from the database. This allows users to create a new depot with the same name.
