New Testing Service Provides Clients With Way To Evaluate The Accuracy
of Their Year 2000 Corrections
BILLERICA, Mass., May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Peritus Software Services, Inc.
(Nasdaq: PTUS), a leading provider of solutions for software maintenance and
software evolution, today announced the Renovation Quality Evaluation (RQE)
service. RQE's independent quality verification enables a company to
determine whether date-related changes have been properly made, helping
customers to catch problems earlier in the cycle where they are easier and
less costly to fix. Customers will benefit from reduced test cycles, enabling
testing to focus on regression and integration, rather than problems
associated with incomplete or improperly renovated code.
The diminishing time to be Year 2000 compliant is the biggest issue facing
IT organizations today.
The traditional approach to the Year 2000 conversion is to renovate the
application and then begin to test it. If date-sensitive items are discovered
that have not been renovated, the entire testing process must stop and be
restarted. The RQE service provides an independent quality appraisal of Year
2000 renovations. RQE uses Peritus' leading-edge technology to evaluate the
accuracy of source code changes that have already been performed. RQE then
reports on the overall quality of those changes regardless of which vendors
tools were used in the renovation. RQE delivers to customers an independent
Accuracy Rating of their overall renovation.
Companies are finding that they have neither the time nor the resources to
do multiple cycles of full enterprise-level testing," said Gareth Taube, VP
Worldwide Marketing at Peritus. "The answer is to validate the renovation in
preparation for testing. The RQE service saves companies precious time and
money in meeting their Year 2000 needs."
The RQE service is available stand alone or as part of Peritus'
comprehensive solution for assisting companies in meeting their Year 2000
compliance needs. The Peritus Year 2000 solution supports the entire life
cycle process, from assessment, through conversion, to test facilitation. The
RQE service and the Automate:2000(R) renovation services employ some of the
most advanced technology available for implementing Year 2000 compliance. The
flexibility and power built into the Peritus Year 2000 solution allows clients
to implement and control century conversion projects, and increase the
accuracy, consistency, and reliability of their renovation work.
