Compuware QACenter enhances reliability of Oracle E-Business Suite

Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today announced that it has attained Certified Partner status in the Oracle PartnerNetwork and that the functional testing portion of Compuware QACenter Enterprise Edition, QARun, has been tested and validated with Oracle E-Business Suite applications.

This validation provides assurance that automated acceptance testing of functional business transactions by Enterprise Edition customers has been validated by Oracle for the E-Business Suite.

"Compuware`s expanded partnership with Oracle underscores the value that Compuware adds to the Oracle E-Business Suite," said Bronwyn Hastings, vice-president, Worldwide Alliances and Channels, Oracle Corp.

"Compuware offers strong testing technology for business applications users.

Obtaining Certified Partner status in the Oracle Partner Network - along with this validation for the E-Business Suite--is yet another reflection of Compuware`s increasing ability to provide quality solutions designed to enhance business application performance."

QACenter Enterprise Edition`s comprehensive platform and application support uniquely meets the needs of QA organisations - regardless of size, technology environment or skill sets. By enabling companies to build test assets early in the development cycle, QACenter Enterprise Edition helps find and fix quality issues before business-critical applications are deployed.

QACenter Enterprise Edition also enables testers to get the automation capabilities they need to quickly and productively create and execute test scripts and verify and analyse test results. This keeps testing in sync with accelerated release cycles, improving the return on testing investments and supporting the delivery of the quality applications end-users and management expect.

"Organisations that rely on Oracle Business Applications know that ensuring reliable and available applications is critical to the success of the entire business," said Mark Eshelby, Compuware QACenter Product Manager.

"Compuware supports Oracle technology across the application lifecycle and this gives Compuware customers even further proof of our commitment to helping them increase application quality by finding and solving problems sooner."
