SEGUE SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES BREAKTHROUGH SUPPORT FOR 32-BIT VISUAL BASIC
SOFTWARE QUALITY TESTING

SEGUE'S QUALITYWORKS AUTOMATICALLY DRIVES 32-BIT OCXS IN VISUAL BASIC, C,
AND C++ APPLICATIONS; PROVIDES AUTOMATIC TESTING OF 32-BIT VISUAL BASIC
APPLICATIONS

NEWTON CENTRE, MA, April 29, 1996-Segue Software, Inc. today announced
breakthrough support for the Visual Basic programming environment from
Microsoft Corporation for both the Windows 95 and Windows NT operating
systems. Segue introduced the new Visual Basic Extension for QA Partner
that allows QA Partner to automatically recognize and test any OLE Custom
Controls (OCXs) used within an application. Segue also introduced the new
GO! for Visual Basic product that allows Visual Basic programmers to
implement automatic testing that is up to six times faster than
traditional record/playback and scripting methods.

The new Visual Basic Extension to QA Partner provides complete support for
testing Visual Basic applications and objects. It supports testing of OCXs
published by Microsoft and third-party vendors. The new release also
supports OCXs embedded in C and C++ applications, allowing users to
automatically interrogate any OCX and define objects to QA Partner for
testing. Tim Perkins, Segue's Vice President of Marketing, said, "The
release of comprehensive Visual Basic 4.0 support harnesses the OCXs
ability to communicate and define itself to QA Partner. Users can now just
place the cursor over an OCX control, hit a function key, and the OCX will
define itself to QA Partner. This allows customers to manage the quality
problems caused by the proliferation of OCX controls. This new capability
solidifies Segue's position as the leader in testing 32-Bit Windows
applications. Segue was the first test tool vendor to ship WindowsNT and
Windows 95 test tools, and we have the most experience in helping
developers and software quality professionals deliver high-quality 32-bit
applications quickly."

GO! consists of pre-packaged, automatic test scripts that provide
out-of-the-box testing for Visual Basic applications. GO! allows Visual
Basic developers to rapidly test basic attributes of the application and
develop an automated testing plan. The results of the tests can feed into
Segue's

QA Planner to automatically build a test plan. These test scripts are
re-usable, and can be re-run using QA Partner to ensure software quality
throughout the testing cycle. GO! will also automatically build tests
against the properties of Visual Basic, C, and C++ OCXs.

QA Partner provides re-usability of test scripts, allowing developers with
16-bit Visual Basic 3.x test scripts to protect their investments in QA
Partner test scripts by migrating them seamlessly to 32-bit platforms.
Tests are not only migratable from 16-bit Windows 3.x, but are re-usable
between WindowsNT and Windows 95, providing cross-platform migration of
existing tests.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

The Visual Basic Extension to QA Partner is available in May at no extra
charge beyond the $2,495 price of QA Partner and $3,495 for QA Partner:
Distributed. Existing QA Partner and QA Partner: Distributed customers
will receive the Visual Basic Extension as a free upgrade. GO! for Visual
Basic is priced at $495 and will be generally available in May.
