Compuware Introduces Automated Application Analysis

Compuware XPEDITER/DevEnterprise Helps Businesses Better Understand Complex Technology Applications and Systems From Web to Mainframe

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- June 12, 2002 -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR) today announced the general availability of XPEDITER/DevEnterprise 3.4, which provides IT professionals with automated application analysis. The product works like an application roadmap, giving software development teams important insight regarding key aspects of their mainframe applications.

"IT shops that once had plenty of folks able to step in to use and re-use code just don’t have that luxury anymore; experienced developers are just not as plentiful as before," said Jim Sinur, Vice President and Research Director, Gartner, Inc. "Solutions giving developers of all experience levels the ability to quickly understand and manage applications are becoming more and more important."

Business conditions constantly change because of market fluctuations or regulatory conditions. Thus, the increasingly complex applications that help run businesses also must change. To do this efficiently, developers need to quickly know where to go within applications to make the needed changes. Compuware XPEDITER/DevEnterprise 3.4 makes this possible by providing immediate access to continuously updated application information and analysis.

"With 1.7 million customers that rely on us for a basic necessity spread across 10 states, we don’t have the luxury of time when application problems arise," said Dana Dodd, Vice President of Information Services, Basin Electric. "Compuware’s XPEDITER/DevEnterprise gives us all the information we need at a glance, saving us time and money--and most importantly, our customers’ confidence."

XPEDITER/DevEnterprise automatically gives detailed insight on how applications work, including exposing which parts of the application are being used and how a change in one part affects the rest. It helps developers to quickly analyze, segment, build, test and extend mainframe applications to the Internet by providing analysis of applications, programs and data flow.

"With this advancement, Compuware has successfully solved another technology pain-point of business while increasing ROI," said Jim Holland, Director of Product Management, Compuware Corporation. "XPEDITER/DevEnterprise is an easy-to-use solution helping IT organizations successfully manage the pressures of delivering timely, scalable and reliable applications."
