ParaSoft Products Support Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0

Business Wire, Sept 2, 1998

MONROVIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 2, 1998--ParaSoft Corp. Wednesday announced that its award-winning software development tools support the Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 development system.

The current Windows-based versions of CodeWizard, which use patent-pending Source Code Analysis technology to automatically enforce coding standards for C and Java, and Insure , the most advanced and thorough automatic runtime debugger available, are fully and easily integrated with Visual Studio 6.0.

These products are automatically integrated with Visual Studio when installed, and CodeWizard and Insure can be easily accessed through the Visual Studio menus and toolbars. Users can even select to have reports of the tools findings displayed within the Visual Studio GUI.

ParaSoft's decision to support Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 is yet another example of its constant effort to provide developers with the advanced technology they need to produce cutting-edge, top-quality programs in themost efficient way possible.

ParaSoft customers greatly benefit from CodeWizard and Insure being compatible with Visual Studio 6.0; such integration vastly expands the ways in which ParaSoft tools can be used to streamline development. For example, integration with Visual Studio 6.0 now allows ParaSoft customers to use CodeWizard and Insure while working with ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and OLE DB.

"ParaSoft is pleased to offer its customers integration with Visual Studio 6.0," remarked ParaSoft lead Insure developer Wendell Hicken. "We constantly strive to provide our customers with tools that satisfy both their present and future development needs, and integration with Visual Studio 6.0 lets us do exactly that."

ParaSoft Chief Executive Officer Adam Kolawa confirmed: "Integrating CodeWizard and Insure with Visual Studio 6.0 allows developers to use the most advanced development tools while working with the latest development advances. It's a perfect relationship!"

Paul Gross, vice president of development tools at Microsoft Corp., added, "Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, which offers such advanced features as its new support for ADO and OLE DB, together with ParaSoft's CodeWizard and Insure , allows developers to dramatically streamline the development of enterprise-wide, data-enabled applications and more."
