SECURITY INNOVATION’S HOLODECK PASSES
MICROSOFT PLATFORM TEST FOR ISV SOLUTIONS
First Commercially Available Fault-Simulation Tool to Achieve
Competency
within the Microsoft Certified Partner Program
Wilmington, MA - November 18, 2007 -
Security Innovation, the authority on application security and leading
independent provider of risk assessment, risk mitigation and training
services, is pleased to announce that Holodeck Enterprise Edition 2.8
has passed the Microsoft platform test for ISV solutions for Windows
Client and Managed Code. The testing was conducted independently by
VeriTest, a testing service of Lionbridge Technologies.
As part of the Microsoft platform tests, the VeriTest team measured
requirements, such as program stability, appropriate use of Windows
resources and intuitiveness of installation and configuration. Obtaining
a pass from VeriTest contributes towards achieving the ISV/Solutions
competency within the Microsoft Certified Partner program.
“It is a significant accomplishment to be recognized as a
Microsoft-certified ISV Solution software testing tool,” said Ed Adams,
president and chief executive officer at Security Innovation. “This
provides Holodeck with instant industry leadership credibility, and
gives our customers an even higher level of assurance that our
applications offer constant availability, reliability, security and
support on Windows.” In addition, this Microsoft certification gives IT
decision-makers greater confidence in the quality and viability of our
solutions.”
“Holodeck is a great tool for security and fragility testing Windows
applications, and now that it is certified it's even better,” said Pete
Jenney, vice president of strategy for Security Innovation. “Its fuzz
testing, attack surface discovery and other key capabilities make
Holodeck invaluable for Microsoft SDL and other security-focused testing
activities. With this new certification, software development teams can
use Holodeck with the confidence in the quality the logo represents."
Holodeck is a unique test tool that that uses fault simulation to
emulate real-world application and system errors on Windows
applications and services. Holodeck’s point-and-click
environment provides powerful and comprehensive reliability and error
handling testing without disrupting the rest of a system. Testers and
developers work in a controlled, repeatable environment to analyze and
debug error-handling code—ideal for adept testers that need to
understand the underpinnings of their applications for fragility and
security testing.
