Compuware Showcases Application Delivery Solutions at STARWEST 2006 Conference

Compuware Application Delivery Solutions Improve Quality and Enhance Performance of Critical Business Applications Throughout the Development Life Cycle

ANAHEIM, Calif.--October 18, 2006--Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR) today announced at the STARWEST 2006 Conference (booth #1 & 2) that it is showcasing its application delivery solutions for application quality and performance assurance. These solutions help IT organizations build quality and performance into custom, enhanced and packaged applications as opposed to testing problems out at the end of projects. This results in significantly reduced costs and risk to the business when deploying applications, while increasing application quality and performance. Compuware's solutions seamlessly integrate award-winning technology with methodology, best practices and certified QA professionals to deliver unparalleled levels of application quality and performance.

Compuware will highlight its Application Performance Assurance solution (APA), an end-to-end performance-driven approach that allows IT teams to proactively identify and eliminate potentially serious production performance problems. APA offers a comprehensive set of performance requirements planning, transaction and application profiling, load testing, end-to-end infrastructure monitoring and root-cause analysis to provide a single, consistent discipline across development, test and operations.

Compuware will also showcase one of its quality assurance solutions, Continuous Integrated Testing (CIT). This solution enables development and QA organizations to maximize the use of a proactive, iterative testing discipline to increase overall application quality. An agile testing process, CIT offers tremendous value to organizations that are adopting agile development practices. By incorporating functional testing and developer productivity tools into a single solution, Compuware provides organizations with the ability to find and resolve functional, performance and security issues during development, significantly reducing the risk and cost typically associated with resolving these problems later in the development life cycle.

Compuware 360 Solution Partner, Díaz & Hilterscheid, a Germany-based consulting firm that specializes in quality services and financial services, will also be featured in the Compuware booth. Díaz & Hilterscheid will demonstrate how its testing tool, CaseMaker, integrates with Compuware's functional testing solution, Compuware TestPartner. The integrated solution enables customers to seamlessly automate test cases, test data and test scripts from functional specifications in external requirements management tools.

"Compuware's unique approach to application delivery builds quality and performance into the application from the earliest phases of the development life cycle," said Larry Angeli, Vice President of Marketing at Compuware Corporation. "Using these powerful solutions, IT organizations can more efficiently and effectively deliver outstanding application quality to drive maximum business value."

Compuware will conduct demonstrations of its application delivery solutions at booth #1 & 2 during the week of October 16 at the STARWEST Conference.
