Management Reporting and Support for New and Legacy Microsoft Technologies
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation
(Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced at the Microsoft Professional Developers
Conference 2008 (booth #118), the latest version of its award-winning code
quality solution, Compuware DevPartner Studio 9.0. This new version
improves an IT organization's ability to diagnose software security
vulnerabilities, defects and performance problems early in the development
process -- when problem resolution is most cost-effective.

"Microsoft is pleased to see Compuware's continued commitment to
innovate its code quality solutions and provide support for Microsoft
technologies," said Joe Marini, Director of the Developer Tools Ecosystem
team at Microsoft Corp. "DevPartner Studio supports Microsoft Visual Studio
2008 to improve communication and collaboration among developers and
testers. With knowledgeable advice, coding standards and best practices
built in, DevPartner Studio enables development and testing teams to build
and deploy Microsoft applications with confidence."
Identify and Resolve Security Vulnerabilities in Source Code
With attacks on Web applications increasing in scope and size, the need
for application security has never been greater. DevPartner Studio 9.0
scans Microsoft ASP.NET application source code to find security problems
before they become deeply embedded in the code base.
By scanning application source code at compile time, DevPartner Studio
can pinpoint unsafe coding practices to the exact method and line of code.
The security scanning feature checks each line of ASP.NET code for more
than 200 security vulnerabilities and suspicious behaviors.
Track Code Quality With Integrated, Management-level Reporting and
Metrics
DevPartner Studio 9.0 now offers integrated reporting, producing code
quality reports that managers and team leads can review easily using a Web
browser. Important metrics and summary-level information enable managers to
quickly understand the quality and stability of the code base from the
earliest stages of development through the final QA testing phase.
Customizable reports are provided for a range of reporting needs, including
code quality, code review, error detection, performance, code coverage and
more.
"I found DevPartner Studio 9.0 to be a fantastic and welcomed addition
to our software development process," said a software engineer from a
leading global provider of data warehousing and analytic technologies. "The
integration into Visual Studio was seamless, and the code analysis was
extremely in-depth. Any .NET software will benefit greatly from using
DevPartner. Executing the reporting functionality in an automated fashion
allowed my developers to continue coding, while the reports were available
at their fingertips."
Support for New and Legacy Microsoft Technologies
DevPartner Studio 9.0 now supports 32-bit application development on
Microsoft Windows x64 platforms as well as a number of new .NET Framework
technologies, including:
-- Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio Team System 2008
-- Windows Server 2008
-- .NET Framework 3.5
-- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
-- Language Integrated Query (LINQ)
-- ASP.NET AJAX Extensions
Recognizing that IT environments are comprised of both new and legacy
applications, DevPartner Studio 9.0 provides support for the latest
Microsoft technologies as well as targeting legacy applications built with
Visual Studio 6.0, Visual Basic 6.0, Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Studio .NET
2003, and the .NET Framework 1.1.
"As a founding member of the Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP)
program, Compuware has a long history of adding value to Microsoft Visual
Studio," said Kim Turner, Vice President of Compuware Quality Solutions.
"DevPartner Studio 9.0 further demonstrates Compuware's commitment to the
Microsoft platform by helping Windows applications teams improve software
quality, maximize developer productivity and deliver superior software
reliability."
Compuware will conduct product demonstrations of DevPartner Studio 9.0
at booth #118 during the week of October 27 at the Microsoft PDC Conference
2008. DevPartner Studio 9.0 is immediately available.
