SafeShoppingNetwork.com Expands its Test Capabilities Tarzana,
California --
The Safe Shopping Network today announced that it has expanded
its web site test capabilities through partnership agreements
with test software developers Compuware, Qualys and ExclamationSoft.
"The powerful web site test software provided by these companies
will greatly enhance the depth and breadth of our current
web site testing capabilities", said Dr. John Ryan, the company's
test technology senior VP. The Safe Shopping Network will
use Compuware's (compuware.com) PointForward package to test
web site reliability and performance characteristics. Qualys's
(Qualys.com) QualGuard software will be used to test over
1600 security vulnerabilities. The Safe Shopping Network will
also monitor the "up time" or availability of web sites using
ExclamationSoft's (exclamationsoft.com) WebWatchBot software.
Coupled with the company's current testing capabilities which
include tests for shopping cart safety, privacy policies,
and site usability, the Safe Shopping Network is now capable
of providing a full test suite designed to score and deliver
test results to over two million monthly visiting consumers.
"These test software partnerships will round out the offering
of our testing lab's services to a number of other eCommerce
portals that have asked to begin providing independent testing
services to their own listing merchants", said Ryan. "More
importantly, we have established significant resources for
thousands of merchant and publisher sites in their quest for
improving web site security, quality and delivery. Compuware,
Qualys and ExclamationSoft testing packages all include exceptional
measurement, reporting and corrective action mechanisms."
The Safe Shopping Network's independent test lab scores web
site security, safety, performance, usability, availability
and privacy characteristics. Scores from each test are posted
on the safeshoppingnetwork.com web site. Tested against established
standards, web sites exceeding the Safe Shopping Network's
minimum quality requirements are invited to participate in
the site's conscientious consumer traffic.
