Pricing to Market Leadership

QA Systems has extended the IDE coverage of QStudio for Java Pro to include both the Eclipse and IBM WebSphere Studio Java IDE’s. "With the release of the Eclipse IDE integration and WebSphere Studio along with the recent releases of the Oracle9i JDeveloper IDE integration and the Borland JBuilder IDE we now feel that our IDE coverage is extensive enough that we can aggressively price to market leadership", said Roelof Vuurboom, Commercial Director QA Systems. “Everyone is looking for ways to improve their software development process. They want to improve time-to-market, software quality and the efficiency of software maintenance and preferably in a way that does not cost an arm and a leg. With the QStudio for Java Pro extension the developer community reaps the benefits of automated software code quality control all within their preferred IDE environment or a standalone environment at a very affordable price".

QStudio for Java Pro now sells for 295,- Euro/USD and can be purchased on-line at www.qa-systems.com/shop. Purchasers are entitled to minor release upgrades at no cost and a major release upgrade for just 145 Euro/USD.

QA Systems is first Dutch company to join the Eclipse consortium

QA Systems has been unanimously elected to full membership in Eclipse, the software development tools consortium. Eclipse is an open community that implements the Eclipse Platform, an open-source, universal platform for tools integration. The Eclipse Platform has gained broad acceptance since its introduction in November 2001, with over 6.9 million download requests. QA Systems joins 33 other industry leaders on the Eclipse Board, including Borland, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, IBM, Merant, Rational, Red Hat, and Serena.

QA Systems has been unanimously elected to full membership in Eclipse. As a voting member of the Eclipse Board of Stewards, Wim van de Brug, Managing Director QA Systems, will participate in defining policies, practices, and standards for this open-source initiative.

“We are very pleased to see that more European software companies are becoming active members of the Eclipse organization,” said Skip McCaughey, Chairperson of the Eclipse Board of Stewards. “We believe that QA Systems’ expertise in the Automated Software Quality domain, and their ability to bring software quality measurement and control to the developer’s desktop will contribute significant value to the Eclipse platform ecosystem”.

“We expect that QA Systems’ extensive experience in automated software quality tools and software quality management will be of significant value to the further development of the Eclipse platform. To underline this we have just released the Eclipse integration of QStudio for Java which is our automated software quality control product", said Wim van de Brug, Managing Director at QA Systems.

IBM WebSphere Studio Integration to be released early April

With the announcement of the upcoming release of QStudio for Java for the IBM WebSphere Studio environment early April, QA Systems takes a significant step forward in its IDE integration objective to support all leading Java IDE vendors and now include Borland, Oracle, IBM as well as Eclipse.
