Comprehensive Federated Identity Management and Message Queue Testing
Capabilities
BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
Crosscheck Networks, Inc., a leader in Web services testing, simulation and
security, today announced immediate availability of SOAPSonar 5.0.

This latest release empowers enterprises, for the first time, to test functional
and performance characteristics of unlimited-sized Web services attachments via
streaming of structured and unstructured data based on industry standards such
as MTOM and MIME. Notably, in this new release SOAPSonar also offers support for
WS-Trust, SAML 2.0, and WS-identity tokens ensuring a best-practices approach to
federated identity management for strict authentication and authorization
testing.

"Moving to an SOA doesn`t mean that you`ve solved the issue of how to move large
files throughout your environment," said L. Frank Kenney,Research Director for
Gartner, Inc. "Because the complexity and size of files and thus attachments is
growing exponentially, it is very likely companies will find themselves quickly
looking for mechanisms and technologies to address the exchange of large file
attachments via Web services. This is an issue we expect to see grow as SOA
adoption rates increase, and more and more companies embrace interoperable
services."

"Tax-, home loan- and medical-related documents in various sizes and formats are
being exchanged with greater frequency using Web services, particularly now with
such initiatives as the HITECH Act promoting use of Electronic Health Records
(EHRs). Until now, large size Web services attachment testing has been
problematic due to hardware resource constraints," said Mamoon Yunus, CEO of
Crosscheck Networks.

Yunus continued: "Addressing this challenge, SOAPSonar delivers the precise,
efficient testing and modeling of document exchange critical for our enterprise
and public-sector customers to achieve the optimal return on their
infrastructure investments. Since conducting business securely is paramount,
Crosscheck now offers extensive Federated SOA testing without adding unnecessary
complexity. Doing so facilitates safe, seamless integration both within
organizations and between them and their partners and customers."

provides simple, intuitive and comprehensive testing for SOAP-, XML- and
REST-based services. The SOAPSonar framework is easy to deploy and provides
