Gomez Announces Windows 7 Support in Web Cross-Browser Testing & Performance Monitoring

LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Gomez, Inc . ( www.gomez.com ), the leader in Web application experience management , today announced that the software-as-a-service Gomez Platform has been updated to support Microsoft's newest operating system Windows 7. Businesses can now validate that their Web applications render and perform well for end-users who have upgraded their PC's operating system to Windows 7, and proactively identify any potential business-impacting performance issues.

Web applications can look and perform differently from browser to browser and operating system to operating system. To save Web developers time and money when launching new applications or adding new features, Gomez's on-demand Web cross-browser testing solution automates visual and functional testing across more than 500 combinations of browsers and operating systems, now including Windows 7, as well as over 5000 mobile devices. By adding Window 7 to Gomez's virtual QA test bed, developers can now proactively ensure that key Web pages and transactions will work in all the browsers and operating systems their customers use prior to launch.

Additionally, the Gomez Cross-Browser Compatibility Test , a free online tool that lets users test how Web sites render in a popular subset of browsers and operating systems, now includes Windows 7. Take a test at: http://instanttest.gomez.com/ .

Gomez's real-user Web performance monitoring solution now also supports Windows 7. Real-user monitoring provides businesses with real-time Web performance analytics so they can track end-users' performance issues by browser, operating system, ISP or device, and triage troubleshooting based on impact to business, such as abandonment rates. Support for Windows 7 means that IT/Web operations and ecommerce/marketing teams now have real-time visibility to performance issues directly affecting users accessing their applications using Windows 7.

"Web users have an ever-increasing choice of operating systems, browsers and devices but one thing remains constant: their high expectations for Web performance. And any new variable, such as a major new operating system, adds extra complexity to the Web application delivery chain," said Imad Mouline, Gomez's CTO. "Gomez's platform, complete with Windows 7 support, provides the most comprehensive testing and monitoring solution helping Web and IT operations maintain quality performance and meet all of their end-users' expectations."
