Codefast , Inc., Teams with Borland to Deliver Next-Generation "Push Button" Continuous Integration and Testing for Developers and Development Managers

PerfectBuild and Gauntlet® Integration Showcase in Upcoming Webinar

San Jose, CA – May 14, 2007 – Codefast™ Inc., the first provider of next-generation build automation and management solutions for development organizations, today announced it has teamed with Borland Software Corporation, the global leader in Open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), to integrate Codefast's PerfectBuild™ with Borland® Gauntlet® to create a scalable “Push Button” Continuous Integration and Testing (CIT) solution for developers and development managers that Borland will resell through its sales force and reseller network.

The companies will host a webinar titled “Eliminating the Build Barrier to Continuous Integration and Test,” which will showcase how the products can be used together to deliver key customer benefits and unique business value.

PerfectBuild's scalable pattern-driven build automation and management solution lets developers easily replace inflexible and inadequate build applications. PerfectBuild's “Push Button” application is easily operated, modified, and maintained.

Borland Gauntlet is a continuous integration and code coverage tool that enables development managers to automate and enforce CIT processes for improved quality, visibility, and time-to-market. Gauntlet enables development organizations to automatically capture and correlate results in an embedded data mart and report on key metrics and trends to support both real-time development feedback and longer-term management decision-making. Together, Codefast PerfectBuild and Borland Gauntlet provide a single, enterprise-ready solution for CIT that is scalable, easy-to-use, and that can address the needs of both development and management.

“CIT can have a dramatic impact on software quality and time-to-market because it prescribes frequent rebuilds and tests,” said Uttam Narsu, former Giga/Forrester analyst and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) expert.

”Unfortunately, many organizations find that their existing build systems are unable to meet CIT's increased demands of usability and performance associated with frequent execution. Moreover, ensuring that CIT processes are run consistently, with metrics captured and accessible, places additional responsibilities on overworked IT Management,” said Narsu.

“The two products are very complimentary,” said Nick Berens, CEO, Codefast. “Developers want quick, reliable results, and systems that are simple to operate and update. Managers need the power to ensure policies are followed and easy visibility into what's going on. By combining PerfectBuild and Gauntlet, we are giving them an integrated solution which satisfies the needs of both parties. Borland has the resources and experience to help enterprises adopt CIT and we are excited to be working with them.”

“The powerful combination of Gauntlet and PerfectBuild will enable Borland to deliver an enterprise-ready CIT solution that addresses key customer pain points and provides significant value from day one,” said Rob Cheng, Director of Development Intelligence Solutions, Borland Software. “Gauntlet's open framework allows us to extend customer value through the integration of best of class partner technologies like PerfectBuild, and further demonstrates Borland's commitment to helping customers transform software delivery into a managed, efficient and predictable business process through our Open ALM approach and product strategy.”
