Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:00:01 +0000

Honor marks the fifth industry recognition the company has received over the last three months

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 29, 2011 - Gorilla Logic, (www.gorillalogic.com), a leader in enterprise application development services and creators of open source test tools for mobile and rich Internet applications, today announced it was named a finalist in the third annual Automated Testing Institute's (ATI) Automation Honors, the industry's original set of awards dedicated to software test automation. In an effort to recognize excellence in the discipline of test automation, the awards rely on industry practitioners to identify which tools, resources and people are the best, which have the most significant upgrades and/or which are setting the trends that will help take software test automation to the next level in the coming year. Gorilla Logic was recognized as a finalist for its popular Open Source automated testing tool, FlexMonkey (http://www.gorillalogic.com/flexmonkey). The recognition is the fifth in a series of awards and honors the company has received for its technology and success in just the last three months.

"We are honored to have been nominated and named a finalist again this year," said Stu Stern, CEO and co-founder of Gorilla Logic. "The latest additions to FlexMonkey were driven by the community of users who rely on it for their automated testing every single day. Through them, we continue to make FlexMonkey even better, which is why it is the most widely used open source tool for testing Adobe Flex and AIR applications based on more than 11,000 downloads."

FlexMonkey allows developers and testers of RIA to record, playback and verify real-world user interactions. If desired, FlexMonkey also can generate ActionScript test scripts that teams can easily use within a continuous integration environment. Gorilla Logic created FlexMonkey in 2008, and continues to contribute to the Flex ecosystem with ongoing enhancements and dedicated support to the community.

FlexMonkey users who want to show their support can do so by visiting (http://www.atihonors.automatedtestinginstitute.com) and voting for Gorilla Logic. Voting closes at the beginning of September and winners will be announced at this year's live awards ceremony held at the Verify/ATI 2011 Conference in Arlington, VA on September 27. In addition, winners and finalist will be highlighted in a special November issue of the Automated Software Testing Magazine (http://www.astmagazine.automatedtestinginstitute.com).

GORILLA LOGIC ANNOUNCES FLEXMONKEY 5 OPEN SOURCE AUTOMATED TEST SOFTWARE FOR ADOBE FLEX AND AIR

Mon, 01 Aug 2011 19:10:12 +0000

FlexMonkey 'Reloaded' offers completely new testing platform, including new console, additional testing commands, tighter integration with FlexUnit, and new test-trace options

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Aug. 1, 2011 - Gorilla Logic, (www.gorillalogic.com), a leader in enterprise application development services and creators of open source test tools for mobile and Rich Internet Applications (RIA), today announced the availability of FlexMonkey 5 (http://www.gorillalogic.com/flexmonkey), the industry's leading open source automated testing tool for Adobe Flex and AIR. FlexMonkey 5 represents a major re-write of the FlexMonkey core open source test tool, resulting in better performance and increased reliability.

"Functional user experience testing is more critical than ever with the explosion of new consumer computing and devices." explained Stu Stern, CEO and co-founder of Gorilla Logic. "This latest version offers the community the next-generation of FlexMonkey, making it more extensible and supportable. It showcases our passion for quality, our technical expertise, and our connection to the tools and culture of Agile delivery."

FlexMonkey is the most widely used open source tool for testing Adobe Flex and AIR applications. With more than 11,000 downloads, FlexMonkey has established itself as the de-facto standard in the industry. It allows developers and testers of RIA to record, playback and verify real-world user interactions. If desired, the test automation tool can also generate ActionScript test scripts that teams can easily use within a continuous integration environment. Gorilla Logic created FlexMonkey in 2008, and continues to contribute to the Flex ecosystem with ongoing enhancements and dedicated support to the community.

New enhancements contained in FlexMonkey 5 include:

l A new console interface
l A new test execution model based on FlexUnit 4
l New SetProperty, StoreValue, and CallFunction commands providing increased power and expressiveness without modifying Actionscript
l A new test-code generation model, friendlier to customization of generated code
l Plus hundreds of other changes driven by real-world feedback from the FlexMonkey community and Gorilla Logic's customers

Stern says these new features translate into some powerful benefits to the FLEX open source functional testing community. Teams delivering Adobe Flex applications can reap the dramatic quality and speed gains delivered from automated user experience testing. "User experience testing for the Adobe Flex/AIR platform now is more powerful, easier to use, faster, and more reliable - plus, it is free because it is open source." he says. "For FlexMonkey customers that use Agile methods and have complex testing needs, FlexMonkey 5 offers new improvements in test extensions and Continuous Integration (CI) environments."

Gorilla Logic continues to lead in developing open-source automated test tools for emerging development platforms. In addition to FlexMonkey, Gorilla Logic recently released FoneMonkey 5 (http://www.gorillalogic.com/fonemonkey), bringing record-and-playback automated testing capabilities to the iPhone and iPad for the first time anywhere. Gorilla Logic's open source testing tools have grown out of the company's extensive experience providing mobile, web and RIA development services to customers, from Fortune 500 companies to next-generation Internet start-ups.

FlexMonkey 5 is upward-compatible for tests recorded with FlexMonkey 4.1. The FlexMonkey development team intends to support the 4.1.x version for sustaining development for six months. To download a copy of FlexMonkey 5, visit (http://www.gorillalogic.com/flexmonkey).

GORILLA LOGIC TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES FOR AUTOMATED FUNCTIONAL TESTING AT 360 FLEX CONFERENCE

Fri, 08 Apr 2011 01:39:28 +0000

GORILLA LOGIC TO SHARE BEST PRACTICES FOR AUTOMATED FUNCTIONAL TESTING AT 360 FLEX CONFERENCE

Company president to reveal how software developers can gain maximum benefits with minimum number of automated tests

WHO: Stu Stern
Gorilla Logic

President and CEO
(http://www.gorillalogic.com)

Stu Stern is a Founder and CEO of Gorilla Logic, Inc., a leader in enterprise application development services and creators of open source test tools for mobile and rich Internet applications. Stern is the creator of Gorilla Logic's category-leading open-source interactive testing tools: FoneMonkey, FlexMonkey, and FlexMonkium. Prior to founding Gorilla Logic, Stern was vice president of worldwide consulting services at Sun Microsystems (now Oracle), where he spoke frequently about Java and Internet application architecture at conferences around the globe. Prior to Sun, Stern was vice president of Equity Trading Systems at PaineWebber (now UBS).

WHAT: Automating Functional Testing

Automated functional testing is crucial to the development of all but the most trivial Rich Internet Applications (RIA). A core suite of automated functional tests provides a solid foundation for rapidly iterating product releases by ensuring the introduction of each new feature doesn't inadvertently break pre-existing functionality.

In this session, participants will explore how to use FlexMonkey -- a free and open source tool that automates functional testing of Flex and RIA applications -- to record, edit, playback and verify application functionality. Attendees also will see how FlexMonkey generates ready-to run ActionScript-based test scripts that can be extended to handle complex application usage scenarios. The session will also look at how FlexMonkey test suites can be run using FlexUnit, and how FoneMonkey (http://www.gorillalogic.com/fonemonkey) can be run with continuous integration tools. The session will conclude with a discussion of best practices for test automation that let developers get the maximum benefit from creating the minimum number of automated tests.
