Press Release Summary: Webinar to provide insight to businesses on why performance
testing is so critical

Press Release Body: Hyderabad, India; London, UK; Philadelphia, Lindon, USA; June
17, 2008: AppLabs, the world's largest independent testing, quality management and
certification solutions company, today announced that it will host a live Webinar
entitled 'Performance Testing: Helping IT Help the Business'. The thirty-minute
event will take place on Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM EDT / 4:00
PM - 4:30 PM GMT / 8.30 PM - 9.00 PM IST.

Performance issues are traditionally difficult to identify prior to live operation
of a new system but, when detected after launch, often involve costly remedial work.
By using advanced testing services and tools, one can undertake realistic proving of
the new systems in the development stages and provide important feedback to ensure
problems are rectified at an earlier stage. AppLabs\' experience shows that the
business functions shy away from setting clear expectations and the Webinar will be
extremely useful for business people who want to take the lead and set the
performance agenda right.

Hosted by Ralph Decker, Assistant Vice President, AppLabs, the Webinar will provide
critical information to people in the following roles:

- Business or IT owners
- IT Architects
- Infrastructure Professionals
- Program Managers
- Test Managers
- Test Architects
- Performance Test Professionals
