 Meriden, Connecticut, June 30, 1993 - Software Services and Solutions, Inc.,
Announces CodeReviewer CASE Tool for NEXTSTEP

Software Services and Solutions, Inc., announced today shipment of
CodeReviewer, a graphical CASE tool for software analysis and project tracking
under NEXTSTEP.  CodeReviewer is currently shipping at a per-seat cost of $495
(floating license), and discounted site licenses are available.  CodeReviewer
is available now for NEXTSTEP on NeXT, 486, and Pentium, with ports to Motif
under other Unix systems to follow.

CodeReviewer helps track and manage changes to objects and other code in multi-
person development efforts.  CodeReviewer allows project managers and
developers to analyze versions of code visually and formally, according to
industry-standard software metrics.  Visual analysis is supported for any type
of code, while software metrics can be computed, compared, and graphed for C,
C++, Objective-C, and YACC code.

Developers can use CodeReviewer to quickly appraise the state of legacy code
and the work that has been done on it in the past.  The complexity analysis
functions of CodeReviewer can point developers to problem spots in code before
they become bugs or maintenance headaches.

CodeReviewer is fully integrated with NEXTSTEP, and its user interface is
immediately familiar to users of standard NEXTSTEP applications.  CodeReviewer
provides its analysis capabilities via inter-application services, as well, to
allow easy integration with the current development environment.  CodeReviewer
is capable of reading projects created by SS&S's DRCS graphical revision
control system, as well as RCS directories.

"With CodeReviewer, project managers can gain control of changes to code and
avoid the morass of object incompatibilities that can plague large object-
oriented development efforts.  Development can proceed with greater efficiency
toward its goals with CodeReviewer. Also, CodeReviewer can get developers up
to speed on an unfamiliar project in a fraction of the time it would take them
without it." said Robert L. Masterson, Vice President of Software Services and
Solutions, Inc.
