Combines Rational Purify, Rational Quantify and Rational PureCoverage
Into One Powerful Solution
DENVER, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Rational User Conference --
Rational Software (Nasdaq: RATL), the e-development company(TM), today
announced the release of Rational PurifyPlus -- a new product that improves
code quality and speeds time to market by combining Rational Purify(R),
Rational Quantify(R) and Rational PureCoverage(R).
With the release of Rational PurifyPlus, software developers have a
complete set of automated runtime analysis tools for improving application
performance and quality when building resilient, reliable software
applications in C/C++, Java(TM) and Microsoft(R) Visual Basic(R). Rational
PurifyPlus consists of Rational Purify, Rational Quantify, and Rational
PureCoverage, packaged together for the first time with a common install and
common licensing for convenience, as well as a floating license option that
was previously not available with the individual products.
"Rational PurifyPlus gives Omnishift a competitive edge by helping us
release quality software on schedule," says Ricky Benitez, vice president of
engineering at Omnishift Technologies, a provider of infrastructure software
and services to enable the deployment of rich applications and data as web
services. "Omnishift's XNet(TM) enables rapid delivery of Windows(R)
applications over the Internet to end-users -- which makes high availability
and scalability critical to XNet software. Rational Purify has been a key
part of our development process since inception, and now, Rational PurifyPlus
makes it easier than ever for us to get full value out of Rational Purify, by
using it with Rational PureCoverage and Rational Quantify."
Windows and UNIX developers will experience immediate productivity gains
with Rational PurifyPlus because it integrates easily within existing
processes. Rational PurifyPlus helps developers visualize the execution of
their code, providing comprehensive and repeatable information spanning the
entire application, with or with out source -- including all third party
components.
Combining all the elements of Rational Purify, Rational Quantify and
Rational PureCoverage into a single package enables the user to experience the
best in automatic runtime error detection (Rational Purify), the most powerful
tool for identifying and analyzing performance bottlenecks (Rational
Quantify), and state-of-the-art automatic identification of all untested code
(Rational PureCoverage). This combination creates a unique and powerful
solution that differentiates itself from others in the market by allowing
users to work with the same tool across languages and platforms.
"Rational PurifyPlus improves application performance and code quality,
enabling customers to build resilient, reliable software applications faster,"
said Eric Schurr, senior vice president of marketing for Rational Software.
"Rational PurifyPlus will help our customers become more productive every time
they write a line of code."

Available now for both Windows and UNIX, Rational PurifyPlus is priced as
follows: Windows node-locked license $995; Windows floating license $8,995;
UNIX named user license $3,995; and UNIX floating license $8,995.
