AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) may be all the rage as a scripting technology for Web applications, but it is not without its drawbacks, according to an executive at Mercury Interactive.
"AJAX is incredible where people are starting to adopt it and it immediately causes a lot of problems because it's not very structured," said Rajesh Radhakrishnan, vice president of Application Delivery at Mercury. Several Mercury executives met with InfoWorld editors at Mercury offices in Mountain View, Calif. on Tuesday morning.
"We've seen tons and tons of problems," with AJAX, Radhakrishnan said. In testing for functionality and regression, Mercury has seen an increased number of regressions in AJAX, said Radhakrishnan.
