“Online testing provides a mechanism for applying the principles of quantitative analysis to improve the Web site experience and drive metrics that affect the bottom line,” wrote the recently published report. “Adobe Test&Target is a component of Adobe’s Online Marketing Suite, and the company’s historical strength in Web measurement and analytics shines through to its perspective on online testing. Test&Target exhibits strength in almost every dimension evaluated.”

Adobe’s position as a Leader in the online testing evaluation was also attributed to its “consistent strength across the full range of capabilities” and “support for integration with the Web marketing ecosystem.” Additionally, Adobe Test&Target was found to excel in “overall application usability, customer satisfaction, and content support.”

Adobe received high scores across criteria such as campaign management, testing, integration, service and support, product strategy and corporate strategy. In addition, Adobe received the highest score in quality of customer references, earning the only 5-out-of-5 rating in that category.

“We think that Forrester Research’s report is timely and shows that marketers are indeed getting more sophisticated,” said Aseem Chandra, vice president, product marketing, Omniture Business Unit, Adobe. “Many marketers are now incorporating online analytics with testing strategies to ensure the right content is getting in front of the right audience at the right time, giving them a distinct competitive advantage. We will continue to expand Test&Target and the entire Adobe Online Marketing Suite to help customers transform their businesses to better meet visitor needs, improve marketing content performance and generate real business value.”

Availability of this HTML5 Pack extension is the direct result of positive customer feedback that began at Adobe MAX 2009 when the company first gave a sneak peek of the technology, and then again most recently following a post on the Adobe Design and Web blog, where additional HTML5 and CSS3 R&D investments were discussed. Underscoring its commitment to this emerging standard, Adobe has made its HTML5 Pack extension for Dreamweaver CS5 immediately available, as a free download, at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/html5pack.html.

“Adobe prides itself on delivering industry-defining tools and being compatible with the most popular Web programming languages, formats, APIs and libraries,” said Lea Hickman, senior director, Creative Solutions at Adobe. “We continue to move forward to support the leading edge of work in HTML, enabling our customers to deliver creative content taking advantage of the latest in HTML capabilities.”

“One of Dreamweaver’s great strengths is its extensibility and it’s encouraging to see that Adobe has wasted no time in providing support for those parts of HTML 5 and CSS3 that are already supported by several browsers,” said David Powers, founder and developer, Foundation PHP. “By adding support through an extension, rather than hard-baking it into the core program, Dreamweaver should be able to keep pace with developments as the specifications and browsers evolve.”

The HTML5 Pack extension includes new code hinting for HTML5 and CSS3 capabilities to enable Dreamweaver users to easily make use of new HTML5 tags. The extension also includes WebKit engine updates and improvements to support video and audio in Dreamweaver CS5’s Live View. With new CSS3 capabilities users can more easily design multi-screen Web pages, with previews of how they will render across multiple browsers and devices. Additionally, the HTML5 Pack features HTML5 starter layouts to the New Document dialog box in Dreamweaver CS5, making it easier for users to accelerate their efforts to design and develop with the latest in emerging Web standards.

From Adobe Labs:

This extension enhances Dreamweaver CS5 in the following ways:

• Introduces the Multiscreen Preview panel , allowing for Live View display on 3 different screen sizes, with Media Query support. (Window > Multiscreen Preview)
• Adds code hinting for the HTML5 Tag Library with new tags, attributes, and properties.
• Updates code hinting for new attributes and values in existing HTML tags.
• Adds code hinting for the following CSS3 specifications: 2D/3D Transformations; Animations; Background and Border; Basic User Interface; Line Layout; Marquee; Media Queries; MultiColumn; Ruby; Text; and Transitions.
• Updates Live View to support <video> and <audio>. (Requires Quicktime installation.)
• Improved rendering for CSS3 in Live View.
• Adds HTML5 starter layouts to the New Document Dialog box.
• Offers better rendering for new tags in Design View.

“We’re empowering developers to create side revenues by giving them an inexpensive and reliable method of controlling access to their desktop or web applications,” said Cliff Hall, Futurescale’s CEO. “Developers sell their applications anywhere and anyhow they like. Their data is secure. It never passes through our servers and they pay us no royalties, percentages or fees on the licenses they sell.”

Zarqon gives developers feature-level control of their software, which is stored and accessed for pennies per month in their own Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) account.

Empowering the Developer

Today, an abundance of social networks, interactive maps and other web-based APIs allow developers to “mashup” various functionalities to create new applications and, if there is enough value in the finished product, realize revenue from it.

A common model is to release ad-supported and/or free functionality to allow viral spreading of the product and sell premium features and/or remove ads for users who will pay. The developer then needs to control access to those features and this is where Zarqon comes in.

The Zarqon Desktop Control Center allows developers to easily describe their products, features and feature sets. They can then issue licenses for recurring subscriptions and time-limited trials (at the product, feature or feature set level), and up-sell new features to existing users. Licenses can be disabled at any time if compromised.

Zarqon is convenient; there is no server-side software to manage. Applications can validate a license online in seconds. Developers using Adobe AIR and Flex for desktop, mobile and web can leverage the same simple yet powerful API.

Assuring Secure and Reliable Storage

Since the developer’s application will actively validate its license each time their customers run it, two obvious concerns are security and reliability. The developer trusts the host to provide robust and reliable access to the licenses, as well as protecting the product and license holder information from hackers.

In licensing schemes that require server side software, achieving security is much more difficult, since each server side program has its own unique vulnerabilities.

Zarqon solves these trust-related issues by combining a smart client and API with a simple cloud storage platform. Amazon S3 is one of the most mature cloud platforms on the Internet.

With Amazon’s long history of reliable worldwide up-time for the S3 service (backed by an aggressive Service Level Agreement), developers need not worry if their users will encounter delays or downtime due to license data being inaccessible.

Pricing and Availability

Zarqon is available for purchase online. Pricing begins at USD $25.00*.

“Localizing our product and service materials is critical to ensuring our customers worldwide get the best user experience possible,” said Francis Tsang, director of globalization, Adobe. “Working with Lingotek, we are streamlining the process by enabling recognized leaders within each global market to distribute and collaborate on individual translation projects with their existing communities. It’s a quality engagement and educational tool for our foreign markets.”

Lingotek enables managers in each of Adobe’s markets to have more control in the localization process, letting them upload new projects, assign projects to translators and communities, check the status of current projects and download completed documents. As a result, they can ensure translation projects are done in time to release products or services around the world simultaneously, with all content accurately translated with sensitivity to every colloquial nuance of the native language and country. The platform:

– Enables flexible and alternative workflows and integrates with content management systems

– Provides content owners a dashboard for managing and assigning content including the ability to alert translators and communities of projects

– Creates a translator scoreboard along with voting and leader boards

– Captures translations for future use through Translation Memory

– Allows managers and translators to work from any location with internet access.

“By using Lingotek to distribute and manage translation projects from each community, Adobe can get more content into more languages than was possible managing the efforts completely from their California headquarters,” said Robert Vandenberg, CEO, Lingotek. “This decentralized approach facilitates the localization process for the entire team.”

This breakthrough version of Adobe Premiere Pro leverages the parallel processing architecture of NVIDIA GPUs and their hundreds of cores to allow film and video professionals to work unconstrained. Users can now create compelling, multi-layer projects with a virtually limitless number of HD or higher resolution video clips, then apply sophisticated visual effects and color correction, while still being able to view the output instantly.

By utilizing NVIDIA Quadro solutions, productivity is enhanced many times over by eliminating the wait for preview renders any time a change is made, and by being able to view projects at full resolution without skipping frames.

“Adobe CS5 with Quadro graphics is a godsend for production pros,” said Matt Silverman, creative director/partner at San Francisco-based Bonfire and Phoenix Editorial. “When you add NVIDIA GPU acceleration to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, the performance gains and time savings are enormous. There’s simply no comparison between using CPU acceleration versus GPU acceleration. I can stack more layers and effects without affecting real-time playback, meaning I can be that much more creative in less time.”

A cost-effective NVIDIA Quadro-based workstation with Adobe video software now enables film and video professionals to achieve the performance and creative freedom previously reserved for dedicated edit suite systems costing upwards of $100,000.

“With Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine, we are redefining the non-linear editing workflow with industry-leading performance acceleration that will deliver big productivity gains for our users,” said Simon Hayhurst, senior director, product management for Digital Video and Audio Group at Adobe. “Performance and fidelity gains coupled with support for a range of NVIDIA cards deliver new capabilities for all professional workflows, enabling users as diverse as post-production studios, corporate videographers, film production, newsrooms — even video hobbyists — to tell their stories easily, with higher impact.”

“If time is money, Adobe Creative Suite users just hit the lottery,” said Andrew Cresci, NVIDIA general manager, vertical market solutions. “Breakthroughs of this nature are rare. With Adobe software running on NVIDIA GPUs, productivity increases, creativity is unconstrained, and creative professionals win.”

Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium, which includes Adobe Photoshop(R) Extended, Adobe(R) After Effects(R) and more, and Adobe Premiere Pro with the new Adobe Mercury Playback Engine that taps into the parallel processing capabilities of NVIDIA GPUs, is fully supported by a range of NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics solutions. Products certified by Adobe for professional use include the Quadro FX 5800, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX 4800 for Mac, Quadro FX 3800 and Quadro CX.
