SECURITY INNOVATION’S HOLODECK ENTERPRISE EDITION V. 2.8 SUPPORTS VISTA
Award-winning Fault-Simulation Tool Performs Deeper Application Testing
Wilmington, MA - April 9, 2008 -
Security Innovation (www.securityinnovation.com), the authority on
application security and leading independent provider of risk
assessment, risk mitigation and training services, today announced that
Holodeck Enterprise Edition v.2.8 supports Microsoft VISTA. Holodeck is
Security Innovation’s award-winning test tool that applies fault
injection to simulate real-world application and system errors on
Windows applications, Windows services and Web services. This is ideal
for testers who must understand the underpinnings of their applications
for fragility and security testing.
Testing professionals worldwide at such leading companies as Symantec,
Microsoft and Adobe, use Holodeck to simulate hostile operating
environments and expose flawed construction that leads to security
vulnerabilities in applications. Holodeck’s point-and-click method
provides powerful and comprehensive reliability and error-handling
testing without disrupting the rest of a system.
“Application security is among the largest problems faced by software
development teams today. Adding VISTA support to Holodeck helps address
this since VISTA places stricter security demands on applications. The
software development community has realized that it must conduct
additional and different levels of testing in VISTA than it did in
Windows XP,” said Peter Jenney, vice president of strategy at Security
Innovation. “Developers and testers need to perform deeper application
testing in VISTA to ensure that appropriate exception (error) handling
is in place. Holodeck gives software teams the tools they need to
develop better applications in VISTA.”
Holodeck Enterprise Edition v2.8 is available immediately at
http://www.securityinnovation.com/holodeck and at resellers
worldwide.
Security Innovation has also unveiled the Holodeck Enterprise Forum, a
site for software teams to collaborate on application security and best
practices for using Holodeck. The forum is online now at
https://holodeck.securityinnovation.com.
