Compuware DevPartner Awarded Two Visual Studio Magazine 2005 Readers Choice Awards

Professional Developers Choose Compuware DevPartner Studio and Compuware DevPartner SecurityChecker as Their Favorite Debugging and Security Tools

DETROIT--June 17, 2005--Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today announced that two of its DevPartner products, Compuware DevPartner Studio Professional Edition and Compuware DevPartner SecurityChecker, were each awarded a Visual Studio Magazine Readers Choice Award during Fawcette Technical Publication’s VSLive! 2005 Las Vegas Conference.

Visual Studio Magazine readers chose Compuware’s new security analysis tool, DevPartner SecurityChecker, as their product of choice in the "Security & Copy Protection" category and awarded SecurityChecker the Readers Choice Award, making this its first award since the product’s launch six months ago. Additionally, for the third consecutive year, DevPartner Studio Professional Edition took top honors in the "Performance, Profiling and Debugging Tool" category and was also awarded the Readers Choice Award.

"Winning a Visual Studio Magazine Readers Choice Award is significant because it is the ‘in-the-trenches developer’ who is saying a given tool is the best," said Patrick Meader, Editor-in-Chief at Visual Studio Magazine. "It is especially impressive when a given product wins for several years running, because it means that this vendor has identified a specific need and delivered something of value and substance to the developer community."

Visual Studio Magazine’s Readers Choice Awards are presented annually and are chosen by the readers of Visual Studio Magazine--developers who use Visual Studio .NET development tools on a daily basis--for the best and most innovative products in Visual Studio .NET development as well as for product excellence and practical value.

"Winning these awards exemplifies our continuing success in providing professional developers with quality tools to build high-performing applications for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Additionally, DevPartner SecurityChecker’s award win confirms the growing awareness and importance developers are undertaking with application security to secure their applications from attacks."
