NEWTON CENTRE, MA, February 27, 1996 - Segue Software, Inc. today announced the immediate delivery of the first testing tool available to test World Wide Web applications. The QA Partner® cross-platform, client/server test tool now includes features that support Internet testing.

Elisabeth Elterman, president and chief executive officer for Segue, said, "Segue is the first company to deliver the tools needed by Webmasters to build high-quality applications. Segue's cross-platform architecture and open integration with complementary technologies allow us to treat the Internet as essentially another platform. This integration allows the entire QualityWorksTM family of testing products to be used to support testing of Internet and World Wide Web applications. We are rapidly evolving our QualityWorks family of test tools to support Internet test planning, creation, execution, and maintenance. We will be introducing additional tools that address the unique challenges of automated testing of Internet applications."
