Compuware Improves the Quality of Enterprise Java Applications

Compuware (Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced new support for Java with Compuware DevPartner Java Edition 3.3, a suite of productivity and profiling tools that speeds the deployment of reliable, high-performance Java applications and components. This new version
provides new and improved detailed analysis capabilities helping to deliver
the highest quality Java applications effectively and efficiently through
several product updates and exclusive functionality.

DevPartner Java Edition bridges the communication gap between development
and testing by resolving problems more quickly and ensuring quality up-front
when an application is first developed. This is particularly important since
it is many times more cost effective to fix application errors in development,
rather than in production.

"With increasingly complex applications, shortened development timeframes
and limited development resources, tools that quickly and easily resolve
development problems have never been needed more -- especially in J2EE
environments," said David Kelly, Analyst, Upside Research, Inc. "Testers and
developers need products, such as Compuware DevPartner Java edition, that help
them address these challenges in order to develop robust Java applications
effectively and efficiently."

DevPartner Java Edition 3.3 includes Compuware-exclusive functionality
for:

* Optimizing memory utilization -- DevPartner Java Edition takes memory
leak analysis to the next level, allowing to run leak analysis from beginning
to end of the program without any complex intervention. This feature displays
application objects that were retained in memory and it allows memory leak
analysis to run as a repeatable process.
* Customizing transaction breakdown -- DevPartner Java's transaction
breakdown capability highlights which application tier or module contributes
the most to transaction response times. This powerful, high-level view
enables the rapid identification of systematic performance problems.

Compuware DevPartner Java 3.3 also includes several other advancements,
such as integration with the open source tool JUnit as well as a session
comparison functionality that compares the results of multiple code sets after
changes have been made. Additionally, support for Eclipse 3.0 has been
included.

"Development organizations face continuing pressure to produce the highest
quality applications using the fewest resources," said Edwin Schumacher,
Director of Product Management, Compuware Development Solutions. "Compuware
DevPartner Java Edition gives them actionable information on the quality,
performance and memory utilization of their applications that enables a
repeatable process to eliminate errors cost effectively."

Compuware provides a full portfolio of products and services to reduce the
complexity involved in developing, deploying and managing enterprise
applications that deliver maximum business value. Today, Compuware announced
it is enhancing its solutions for enterprise Java applications with the
release of new versions of Compuware OptimalJ, Compuware DevPartner Java
Edition and Compuware Vantage Analyzer for J2EE, a new addition to the
company's application service management solutions.
