Compuware DevPartner Studio Improves Microsoft .NET Framework Application Quality and Security
DevPartner Studio 9.0 Introduces Application Security Scanning, Integrated Management Reporting and Support for New and Legacy Microsoft Technologies
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27 -- 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.
