Watchfire recently announced the Watchfire e-Quality Suite version 1.0, an integrated Web site testing solution.

Using the e-Quality Suite, customers can test a Web site’s content, transactions and web application performance using a single integrated package of tools.


Wachfire e-Quality Suite features updated versions of Linkbot Pro, Linkbot Enterprise, Metabot Pro and Wisebot Pro, along with two new applications: Macrobot and Watchbot. The suite provides customers with an “end-to-end quality assurance solution”:


  • Linkbot Pro – Automatically scans Web sites–with support for JavaScript, HTML 4.0 and FORM tags–for over 50 different types of problems. The tool generates detailed graphical reports which details specific errors that need to be fixed.
  • Linkbot Enterprise – Designed for large, enterprise-wide Web sites, specifically built with the team development environment in mind. Linkbot Enterprise stores a site’s data in an SQL database; produces personalized reports using Active Server Pages in addition to standard HTML output.
  • Metabot Pro – Makes it a simple process for site managers to test compliance
    to metadata standards and automate the insertion of metatags in thousands of HTML and Microsoft Office documents simultaneously.
  • Macrobot – Automates the testing of e-commerce transaction applications, ensuring their successful deployment, thus reducing the need for manual testing and speeding time to market.
  • Watchbot – A Web application performance monitoring solution that simulates e-commerce transactions on a site at regular intervals. Watchbot then sends out alerts if the site’s performance is unacceptable.

The Watchfire e-Quality Suite 1.0 is scheduled to be available in November.
