NuMega DriverStudio 1.5 Introduces New Tools, Extensive Support for Microsoft's Next Generation Operating System

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.-- February 14, 2000 -- Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ:CPWR) today announced the availability of NuMega DriverStudio 1.5, a suite of tools that accelerates the development of device drivers for all Windows platforms, including Windows 2000. DriverStudio brings high quality tools that advance software development practices for device driver development, debugging, tuning, testing and deployment.

"NuMega DriverStudio offers the industry's most superior debugging and software verification tools available for device driver development," said Bob Johnston, a DriverStudio 1.5 beta tester and developer at Intelligraphics Corporation. "Our driver development for Windows 2000 and Windows 98 has greatly benefited because of using DriverStudio."

DriverStudio enables developers to deliver the highest quality Windows 2000 device drivers by removing the complexity and guesswork normally required in coding, debugging, tuning and testing. DriverStudio is the only product available that encompasses the entire device driver development process. Each DriverStudio tool fits a unique need and, when integrated into the development process, enables developers to solve the most difficult device driver development problems.

"Compuware is a leader in delivering high quality developer productivity tools for Windows 2000," said Deborah Willingham, vice president of marketing for Windows 2000 at Microsoft Corporation. "NuMega DriverStudio will help developers quickly build reliable drivers for Windows 2000."

One of the innovative new features introduced in DriverStudio 1.5 is code coverage analysis for kernel mode drivers. NuMega TrueCoverage Driver Edition improves the testing process by providing a visual display of code coverage information that enables a developer to precisely determine how thoroughly a driver has been tested. As a result, developers using TrueCoverage Driver Edition can deliver more reliable device driver software.

"NuMega DriverStudio addresses a critical need for driver developers seeking high quality development tools to increase their productivity," said Joe Wurm, Vice President and Lab Director for the NuMega product line. "This release of DriverStudio enhances the debugging and testing capabilities of the suite to fully encompass Windows 2000 driver development. DriverStudio is a key element of Compuware's comprehensive strategy for helping corporations deploy reliable Windows device drivers."
