Compuware Improves the Quality of Enterprise Java Applications With DevPartner Java Edition 3.3 Exclusive Enhancements Identify Trends for Performance Bottlenecks and Make Memory Analysis a Reliable and Repeatable Process DETROIT, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware (NASDAQ:CPWR) today announced new support for Java with Compuware DevPartner Java Edition 3.3, a suite of productivity and profiling tools that speeds the deployment of reliable, high-performance Java applications and components. This new version provides new and improved detailed analysis capabilities helping to deliver the highest quality Java applications effectively and efficiently through several product updates and exclusive functionality. DevPartner Java Edition bridges the communication gap between development and testing by resolving problems more quickly and ensuring quality up-front when an application is first developed. This is particularly important since it is many times more cost effective to fix application errors in development, rather than in production. "With increasingly complex applications, shortened development timeframes and limited development resources, tools that quickly and easily resolve development problems have never been needed more -- especially in J2EE environments," said David Kelly, Analyst, Upside Research, Inc. "Testers and developers need products, such as Compuware DevPartner Java edition, that help them address these challenges in order to develop robust Java applications effectively and efficiently." DevPartner Java Edition 3.3 includes Compuware-exclusive functionality for: * Optimizing memory utilization -- DevPartner Java Edition takes memory leak analysis to the next level, allowing to run leak analysis from beginning to end of the program without any complex intervention. This feature displays application objects that were retained in memory and it allows memory leak analysis to run as a repeatable process. * Customizing transaction breakdown -- DevPartner Java's transaction breakdown capability highlights which application tier or module contributes the most to transaction response times. This powerful, high-level view enables the rapid identification of systematic performance problems. Compuware DevPartner Java 3.3 also includes several other advancements, such as integration with the open source tool JUnit as well as a session comparison functionality that compares the results of multiple code sets after changes have been made. Additionally, support for Eclipse 3.0 has been included. "Development organizations face continuing pressure to produce the highest quality applications using the fewest resources," said Edwin Schumacher, Director of Product Management, Compuware Development Solutions. "Compuware DevPartner Java Edition gives them actionable information on the quality, performance and memory utilization of their applications that enables a repeatable process to eliminate errors cost effectively." Compuware provides a full portfolio of products and services to reduce the complexity involved in developing, deploying and managing enterprise applications that deliver maximum business value.
