Compuware DevPartner SecurityChecker Wins Software Test & Performance Magazine's 2005 Testers Choice Award

Compuware's DevPartner SecurityChecker has won Software Test & Performance Magazine's Testers Choice Award in the "Security Test Tool" category.

"We are extremely proud and honoured that the readers of Software Test & Performance Magazine have chosen DevPartner SecurityChecker as their security test tool of choice," said Larry Angeli, Vice President of Marketing at Compuware Corporation.

"With security at the application level becoming such a critical concern for both testers and developers, DevPartner SecurityChecker is the perfect security tool to help application development and testing teams locate and identify security defects and vulnerabilities to secure their applications from attacks."

Winners were announced during the awards ceremony at the Software Test & Performance 2005 Conference in New York City in Decemeber 2005.

It is Compuware's new powerful security analysis tool that enables developers to quickly locate and fix security vulnerabilities in ASP.NET applications. Introduced in 2004, the solution assists enterprises in developing, testing and deploying applications that are better able to withstand malicious attacks and data theft. Users can quickly identify security vulnerabilities right to the line of source code and receive immediate expert advice on implementing a repair, reducing the overall mean time to resolution. DevPartner SecurityChecker uses three distinct modes of analysis spanning both white-box and black-box testing techniques to provide the developer with a depth of analysis unmatched in the industry.

"What makes the Software Test & Performance Magazine Testers Choice Award so special is the fact that these awards are chosen by QA testers and developers who use these QA tools on a daily basis.
