Enterprise application development services and consulting company Gorilla Logic announces that FlexMonkey, its open-source, automated testing tool for Adobe Flex applications, has gained more than 2,000 unique registered users in less than two months.
Gorilla Logic, an enterprise application development services and consulting
company, announced Sept. 14 that its "open-source, automated testing tool
for Adobe Flex applications, FlexMonkey,
has surpassed the 2,000 unique registered users mark in less than two months."
Gorilla Logic officials said the FlexMonkey Adobe Flex application testing
tool is quickly becoming a "de facto standard."
"We are impressed with the market response to FlexMonkey," Stu
Stern, CEO of Gorilla Logic, said in a
statement. "We have been using FlexMonkey on projects for some time and
have experienced the benefits ourselves-the ease-of-use, extensibility and
reliability. When we released FlexMonkey we believed others would discover the
same thing, but the response has been overwhelming."
According to the statement, "FlexMonkey is an open-source testing tool
for optimizing automated and unit testing of Adobe Flex RIAs [Rich Internet
Applications] ... Designed to be the equivalent of a production-quality testing
tool tailored for use in continuous integration environments as well as quality
assurance departments, FlexMonkey drastically reduces the costs associated with
development testing while at the same time ensuring application quality."
Gorilla Logic launched a new version of FlexMonkey on Aug. 17, including the
new MonkeyLink technology. "Designed to address problems with dynamically
loading target applications through the FlexMonkey Console or the MonkeyAgent,
MonkeyLink allows users to compile a few lines of code into their application
.SWF, and then launch the application directly using MonkeyLink. As a result
users can test virtually any Adobe Flex or Air application," the company
said in its statement.
"The fact that Fortune 500 companies are
downloading and using FlexMonkey is not surprising considering the obvious ROI
from such a robust, reliable tool," Chad Sanderson, vice president of
sales and marketing at Gorilla Logic, said in the statement. "What has
been surprising is the number of other consulting firms that have downloaded
FlexMonkey and began promoting the tool, at times in place of their own
solutions. The result has been an increase in our services projects centered
around FlexMonkey implementation, customization, training and our Adobe Flex
practice in general."
