Segue Software:
World's fastest-growing software testing company


Segue Software, Inc. is the world's fastest-growing automated software testing company: revenues have doubled during each of the last two years, staff has grown to nearly 100 people and new product development is proceeding at a rapid, carefully thought-out, pace. This rise to the top of the software testing ranks began in 1992, when Segue -- financed by Lotus Development Corp. royalties from the porting of Lotus 1-2-3 from Windows to UNIX -- finished development and 12 months of Beta testing of its ground-breaking new QA Partner automated software testing product. Early adopters included Lotus and Symantec.

By the end of 1993, Release 1.0 of QA Partner had commercially shipped and was available on 18 platforms. Several major software vendors -- including Adobe, Autodesk, Gupta Corp., Lotus and Progress Software -- had already standardized on it for internal testing. And Release 1.0 had won both the InfoWorld Buyers Assurance Seal and the praise of leading analysts like the Yankee Group, Gartner Group, Christine Comaford and others.

Segue continued its rapid growth during 1994. QA Partner 2.0 was released in 1994 -- along with its first companion product, the Extension Kit -- and the number of supported platforms was expanded to 24. The addition of an intelligent recording capability drew technical kudos from the Hurwitz Consulting Group, among others, and helped Release 2.0 garner the PowerBuilder Developer's Journal Seal of Excellence.

Release 3.0 of QA Partner shipped in 1995 with a major new companion product, QA Planner™, and a significantly enhanced Visual 4Test™ language that have combined to make QA Partner the most robust and easiest-to-use software testing solution on the market. Support was also added for Microsoft Windows95 and other platforms. Quest '95 -- Segue's first annual user conference -- was a watershed event attended by an enthusiastic group of QA Partner users from around the world that set the stage for the company's next phase of corporate growth.

Segue's QA Partner is today used either exclusively or to a significant extent to test the products of the world's top 100 independent software vendors, and corporate information systems departments in every industry -- Andersen Consulting, Citicorp, Fidelity, Hoffman LaRoche, 3M, Ericsson and Smith Barney, to name but a few -- are increasingly finding QA Partner to be indispensable to their mission-critical client/server application development programs.

At Segue, we are committed to helping our growing roster of corporate customers cost-effectively produce GUI and client/server software of the highest possible quality. That means remaining constantly attentive to their needs and those of our employees and shareholders, while backing each installation with comprehensive training, consultation and technical support. We will also continue to expand the power and usability of QA Partner -- with the addition of defect tracking, distributed testing and performance analysis modules in 1996 -- to meet the growing QA testing needs of our customers.
