QA Systems to add 20% in Annual Revenues Through Addition of IPL's Intelligent Unit and Integration Testing Software Cantata++ 6.0 to Portfolio

BATH, England, May 31, 2011 -

- QA Systems enhances its portfolio to expand reach into
vertical markets by reselling automated unit test software with IPL's
Cantata++ 6.0 throughout Germany, Switzerland and Austria

QA Systems, the provider of software development solutions, has this
month partnered with IT services company IPL, specifically to distribute
Cantata++ 6.0 - an automated unit test (
www.ipl.com/products/tools/pt412.uk.php) and integration testing tool
for any C unit test (www.ipl.com/products/tools/pt413.uk.php) or C++
unit test (www.ipl.com/products/tools/pt411.uk.php) . QA Systems will
therefore be selling these powerful C unit test and C++ unit test
capabilities throughout Germany, Switzerland and Austria with the partnership
expected to bring the company 20% additional annual revenues.

Notes to Editors: This release follows IPL's 1st February 2011
announcement of the launch of Cantata++ 6.0 (

With an increased focus on software safety standards, Cantata++ 6.0 has
been added to QA Systems' portfolio due to its broad vertical market reach.
The products that QA Systems had previously relied upon were deemed too
specific to the individual compiler and compiler's language, which limited
their applicability to only the defence and aerospace sectors.

QA Systems therefore added Cantata++ 6.0 to its offering as it is far
more open in its design and is therefore equally suitable for defence and
aerospace, but also for other markets with safety-critical software testing
concerns such as automotive, engineering and healthcare. This additional
market reach is expected to provide QA Systems with 20% additional revenue
annually.

Andreas Sczepansky, CEO and President of QA Systems, explains,
"We have historically had a focus on static testing and static software
analysis and have been particularly eager to target the automotive,
engineering and healthcare markets. However, our product set did not
previously support such a focus as it did not have the sufficiently open
design, usability and functionality required for these markets. By adding C
unit test and C++ unit test capabilities to our portfolio with Cantata++ 6.0,
we are now able to confidently and competitively target these sectors with
renewed vigour, and as such generate an anticipated 20% additional annual
revenue."

Automated unit test tool Cantata++ has been successfully used by
customers worldwide since the 1990s as a tool for any C unit test or C++ unit
test. It meets all the international safety related standards including:
IEC61508 and its various sector specific derivatives, DO-178B for avionics,
and IEC62304/FDA Guidelines for medical devices. Cantata++ 6.0 provides
advanced high productivity techniques, allowing developers to dynamically and
repeatedly prove their code with intelligent unit and integration testing
(www.ipl.com/products/tools/pt410.uk.php) , in the most cost effective
manner. It also easily integrates with the developer desktop, compilers and
embedded target platforms.

Sczepansky continues, "In addition to the wider vertical markets that we
are expecting to be able to distribute Cantata++ 6.0 into, we are also very
excited by the competitive edge that such an automated unit test tool
provides us with. In contrast to many of our competitors who provide
solutions only for dynamic testing or static analysis, we are now able to
cater for both of these markets with dedicated best-of-breed solutions."

Jim Thomas, Chief Technology Officer for IPL comments, "The process of
achieving and demonstrating compliance with the highest Safety Integration
Levels has typically been a painful and expensive one, so highly intelligent
unit and integration testing with code coverage up to MC/DC level is an
essential component for success. Due to being built on the Eclipse 3.5.2 open
standard architecture and being able to meet every single international
safety related standard, automated unit test tool Cantata++ 6.0 is ideally
placed to access all industries with an interest or need in intelligent unit
and integration testing of safety-critical software."

Matt Davis, IPL's Partnership Manager concludes, "We are very
pleased to have QA Systems selling powerful C unit test and C++ unit test
capabilities in this territory. This new partnership means we are able to
service our potential customers with an automated unit test tool for any C
unit test or C++ unit test thanks to their in-depth knowledge of these
markets - particularly the automotive industry. Kicking off the new
partnership at the beginning of March at Embedded World 2011 in Nuremberg was
a remarkable success and we look forward to strengthening the relationship
throughout the year."
