Boston, MA - August 12, 2003 - Mindreef, Inc. announced today the availability of Mindreef SOAPscope 2.0, the second offering in the company’s flagship product family and the industry’s first Web Services Diagnostics System. A key feature of SOAPscope 2.0 is the ability to automatically analyze WSDL interoperability and best practices. (See http://www.mindreef.com/soapscope2 for product announcement)

“Mindreef is excited about the release of the Basic Profile 1.0. Because we believe the Basic Profile will accelerate Web Services adoption by increasing industry confidence in Web Services interoperability, our products are completely aligned with the interoperability conventions in the Basic Profile 1.0. We are creating products that are strongly influenced by the WS-I process. SOAPscope 2.0 includes automatic WSDL checking technology that helps developers find interoperability and other problems in their Web services.” said Mark Ericson, co-founder and Chief Architect, Mindreef, Inc.

SOAPscope 2.0 focuses on the interfaces between Web services. These interfaces are described in a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document. Errant WSDL results in Web services that are not interoperable or do not function properly.

The design of interfaces using WSDL is a complex specialty, but almost every Web service developer, tester or troubleshooter will have to know WSDL as it is the key to Web services interoperability. SOAPscope 2.0 makes WSDL approachable by automating the four steps people use when solving Web services problems: Visualizing, Experimenting, Comparing and Analyzing.
