by Press Release - Major Enhancements added to LinkScan? 8.2
San Jose, CA, September 18, 2001. Electronic Software Publishing
Corp. (Elsop) is pleased to announce the release of LinkScan? 8.2.
The LinkScan? family of products deliver industrial-strength test
automation and website management capabilities. In addition to
extremely high accuracy, LinkScan offers exceptional performance and
scalability for extremely large websites and Intranet applications.
Advanced customization features allow webmasters and quality assurance
engineers to create completely automated test suites.
LinkScan 8.2 incorporates a host of new features developed in
partnership with existing clients at government agencies, universities
and Fortune 1000 companies. The scale and complexity of modern
website applications combined with the extremely rapid rate
of change creates many management challenges. These include
design, quality, testing, performance, change control and work flow
management. LinkScan 8.2 addresses many of these needs and is available
for immediate deployment.
"The cost of testing and re-testing today's web-based applications
represents a tremendous burden." said Malcolm Hoar, Chief Technology
Officer of Elsop. "Manual methods are intolerably expensive and
cannot possibly handle the rates of change demanded in today's
markets. LinkScan allows customers to accelerate the process and
to do so at dramatically reduced cost." he added.
LinkScan was, from the outset, designed as an open and
extensible system. Customers need not discard and write off their
existing investments in content management and other tools. LinkScan
fits right in and may be integrated with those systems to save time
and money as well as maintain website quality to highly enhance the
user experience. Existing customers are today using LinkScan with
other leading systems such as those from Microsoft, Vignette,
Broadvision, Sun Microsystems and IBM.
The new 8.2 release builds upon that foundation with new
features to facilitate work group communication, inter-application
integration as well as improved productivity in design, testing,
configuration management and on-going maintenance. Other
enhancements have been made to improve performance, accuracy,
ease of use, and customization. New reporting options make it
possible to answer many more ad hoc questions and drill-down
into specific test results.
Version 8.2 is a free upgrade to all users of 7.0 or higher.
Existing users and others interested in the technical details of
the new features are invited to visit:

The LinkScan family of products addresses the complete spectrum
of needs at affordable prices ranging from $300 to $5,000.
Cross-platform and cross-product compatibility provides seamless
migration for rapidly growing organizations while protecting all
existing investments. For larger companies in particular, this also
means direct cost savings in deployment, user training and system
administration.
LinkScan operates on all Unix Systems (including AIX, BSDI,
FreeBSD, Digital Unix, HP/UX, IRIX, Linux, and SunOS/Solaris
flavors), and Microsoft Windows (95/98/NT/2000) platforms.
