Oracle Acquires e-TEST from Empirix

Oracle announced this morning that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the e-TEST suite products from Empirix. This follows the acquisition of Moniforce, a maker of end user monitoring products, in December 2007. e-TEST is made up of three components: e-Load for scalability, performance and load testing, e-Tester for automated functional and regression testing, and e-Manager Enterprise, for test process management, including test requirements management, test management, test execution and defect tracking. The combination of e-TEST suite and Oracle Enterprise Manager is expected to create a best-of-breed application management portfolio spanning the entire application life cycle, from development and testing to production deployment and application performance management.
