RSW Software Monday released e-TEST suite 4.0, a testing solution designed to meet the requirements of large scale Web applications.

Enhancements in this release include the ability to emulate tens of thousands of users on low-cost NT workstations, extend Visual Scripts using standard programming languages, and track server-side statistics to help detect performance bottlenecks. RSW believes that their new e-TEST suite 4.0 provides users with the power and flexibility to "handle the most challenging testing problems and still meet the highly compressed development schedules typical of Web applications."
