Autoriginate, Inc. Announces Free HostedQA Service for Opensource Projects

Portland, OR, August 23, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Autoriginate, Inc. announced today the general availability of its flagship product, HostedQA, free of charge for all opensource and other qualifying not-for-profit projects. HostedQA is the premier hosted solution for end-to-end acceptance testing of web-based applications. With support for automating the deployment process, refactoring of record-and-playback-style tests, and a wide variety of browser support, HostedQA is the most convenient and intelligent acceptance testing tool available. Opensource projects may sign up for their free account by following the instructions at http://opensource.hostedqa.com.

“We think that opensource developers will immediately see the value of HostedQA,” said Patrick Lightbody, CEO and founder of Autoriginate, Inc. “They tend to be on the cutting edge of software development practices, making them ideal target users for the advanced offerings that HostedQA provides, such as a wide support for deployment environments and browsers.” With the recent introduction of Internet Explorer 7 support, HostedQA is well-suited for testing AJAX applications that need to be verified to work on Microsoft’s upcoming browser.

Several opensource projects are already using HostedQA, including Stripes, DWR, Apache Struts, and SiteMesh. According to Tim Fennel, the creator of the Stripes web framework, “HostedQA is an innovative service, making it easy to achieve cross-environment and cross-browser testing.” The Stripes project has been using HostedQA for several weeks.

Joe Walker, an AJAX expert and creator of DWR, the leading Java AJAX framework, had this to say about HostedQA: “We’ve been testing DWR using HostedQA for a while now and it rocks. It’s helped us find bugs, and the plan is to set it up so that we can test with a whole bunch of browsers so I don’t even have to mess about with Firefox profiles.” Joe went on to explain how HostedQA is changing the way he developers DWR, “To a certain extent it can make the edit/compile/test cycle an edit/check-in cycle.”
