Reactivity and Parasoft Team to Speed Web Services Deployment

 Product Bundles Help Speed Testing and Deployment of Secure XML Web Services

    RSA CONFERENCE 2005, SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Reactivity,
Inc. the leader in secure XML Web services deployment systems, and Parasoft, a
leading provider of Web services solutions, today announced a joint product
bundle to help speed the deployment of secure XML Web services.  Every
Gateway-D sold by Reactivity will ship with an evaluation version of
Parasoft's SOAPtest. Under the terms of the promotion, those customers may
also purchase Parasoft SOAPtest at a 30 percent discount, and vice versa,
offering application development, security and quality assurance teams an
unprecedented opportunity to take advantage of two of the leading secure XML
Web services development and testing tools.
    The Reactivity Gateway-D is the easiest way to create and test secure Web
services that migrate seamlessly into production.  The Gateway-D is a desktop
appliance with the full functionality of the Reactivity Gateway and the
Reactivity Manager that lets developers focus on the application logic and
rapidly identify issues that impact deployment internally or externally.
Parasoft SOAPtest is the most comprehensive tool for testing Web services,
enabling users to verify all aspects of a Web service while reducing the time
and cost to develop, deploy and manage them.  Together, these two best-of-
breed tools speed the development and testing of secure, highly interoperable
and reliable Web services to reduce the overall time to market for the
enterprise.
    "By using the Gateway-D during the development and testing of Web
services, enterprises can deploy them with confidence that security will be
enforced consistently and interoperability will be maximized," said Andrew
Nash, CTO at Reactivity.  "The Gateway-D is a true appliance that simply plugs
into the development network, so enterprises waste no time provisioning
software, operating systems or hardware, and works together well with Parasoft
SOAPtest."
    Starting now, purchasers of the Reactivity Gateway-D will also receive in
the box a CD containing the Parasoft SOAPtest software.  During the SOAPtest
registration and activation process, Gateway-D customers will automatically
get a 30 percent discount on the purchase price.
    "Parasoft SOAPtest is the ideal complement to the Reactivity Gateway-D.
SOAPtest is the most advanced Web services testing solution on the market
today.  SOAPtest's flexible workflow allows both development and QA to share
testing assets in order to deploy reliable and secure Web services faster,"
said Wayne Ariola, vice president of corporate development at Parasoft.  "With
just the click of a button, anyone can perform server functional and load
testing and client functional testing to prevent errors and pinpoint
weaknesses."
    The Reactivity Gateway-D and Parasoft SOAPtest will be on display at the
RSA Convention 2005 in Booth #612 in the South Hall of the Moscone Convention
Center.
