This is surprising, I remember meeting the founder and the Red Gate guys out at Business of Software 2009. They seemed very passionate and committed (I kept hoping they would use a marketing idea I suggested).
One thought might be that they are going to add it to one of the other Red Gate tools and sell it more in the way that Red Gate is used to selling tools. (not SaaS)

- dan_sim 17y agoAt first, I thought that it was closing for a "bad" reason but what you say is logical. But, why would they list alternative services if they would eventually come back?
- amirmc 17y agoWe've got a few hundred people signed up to Go Test It and it just felt rude to turn the service off without any info as to what a user might do next. The other services I mentioned in the email are Selenium based so hopefully users can transition. Even if GTI comes back later, we felt it was right to offer users some alternative. Edit: Just to clarify, there are no plans to include GTI with any of Red Gate's other products. Forgot to mention that when I first replied.
