NEWTON CENTRE, MA -- October 9, 1995 -- Segue Software today announced immediate availability of the QA Partner� and QA Planner� software test tools on Windows 95 and Windows NT. The new 32 Bit Edition of QA Partner provides native support of Windows 95 and NT applications, enabling one product to support both platforms.
Tim Perkins, Segue's vice president of marketing, said, "While other test tool vendors have announced plans to provide 32-bit Windows support in the future, Segue has provided it for over a year with over 200 customers using a WindowsNT and Windows95 version of QA Partner. As the two platforms moved closer to each other, the experience with our customers indicated that they viewed the two platforms almost interchangeably. With the release of the 32 Bit Edition of QA Partner version 3.0, we have combined our support for Windows95 and WindowsNT into one, providing an excellent solution to Windows developers to test all their 32 bit Windows applications with one product."
Segue is the only test tool vendor supporting all versions of Windows natively today. Perkins added, "One of Segue's many strengths is our platform neutral architecture. Other vendors who have centered their solutions on one platform now find themselves having to retrofit aging 16-bit architectures to support emerging 32-bit environments. Segue's Open QA Architecture was built to address changes to applications, operating systems, and hardware over time. For Segue it was a matter of updating the new native objects for Windows 95 and WindowsNT within QA Partner's Class libraries and acquainting our agent technology with the new User Interfaces." The QA Partner for Windows: 32 Bit Edition is a single product available immediately that can test any application developed for Windows 95 and Windows NT. This version supports all new native application objects.
All PC Class versions of QA Partner are immediately available for $2,995, and UNIX Class versions are available for $6,995.
