SAN RAMON, Calif., April 11, 2007 — RadView Software Ltd. (OTCBB: RDVWF), today launched WebLOAD Open Source, the world’s first commercial-grade open source Internet performance testing solution. RadView will now focus on products that are based on open source to offer customers a solid alternative to high-cost proprietary performance testing solutions that are often too difficult to implement and lack the flexibility to properly meet customer needs.

WebLOAD Open Source, licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL) version 2, is based on WebLOAD, the company’s flagship product that is already deployed at 1,600 sites. Immediately available for free download and use, WebLOAD is a commercial-grade open source project with more than 250 engineering years of product development.

“Current proprietary solutions are too costly and too inflexible, prohibiting developers from tackling performance issues correctly,” said Ilan Kinreich chief strategist of RadView and a co-founder of Mercury Interactive. “RadView’s open source approach will foster innovation, expand the use of performance testing, provide the foundation for an open source testing ecosystem, and help to define testing standards. Ultimately, open source testing tools will be the key catalyst to improve the quality of Internet applications.”

“RadView is embracing an open source approach for building, marketing and selling software,” said Yochai Hacohen, RadView CEO. “The power of the open source ecosystem, will make WebLOAD a better product, reduce time to market and increase WebLOAD’s reach, enabling WebLOAD to become the de facto standard for performance testing of Internet applications.”

RadView supports and distributes WebLOAD under a commercial open source business model. WebLOAD Open Source is a fully functional, commercial-grade performance testing product that is and will always be freely available. Companies that require commercial support, additional productivity features and compatibility with third-party protocols have the option of purchasing WebLOAD Professional directly from RadView.
