WARWICK, RI (PRWEB) March 12, 2004 -- McCabe & Associates, the leading provider of Software Quality Management and Configuration Management solutions worldwide, announces the availability of the next version of McCabe IQ (Version 8.0.1) with its support for the Microsoft .NET framework and improved enterprise reporting capability (McCabe EQ 1.2).

The McCabe IQ Suite of products helps companies analyze the effectiveness of their application testing, measure the quality and complexity of their software by identifying the areas of code that are the highest risk of failure, and provide comprehensive reporting and visualization of the testing and code analysis across the enterprise.

The highlight of this latest release of McCabe IQ (Integrated Quality) is the introduction of comprehensive support for the C++.NET and VB.NET languages, including static analysis, test analysis and .NET IDE integration on Windows platforms. In addition to the .NET framework support, this latest release of McCabe IQ calculates and reports on 24 additional static analysis metrics indicating code quality.

"As business critical systems are deployed on the .NET framework, they can now be tested with the most advanced quality and test analysis tools from McCabe," says McCabe VP of Sales, Michael Smith. McCabe has been guiding the quality of mission/life and business critical systems for 25 years and we are committed to supporting the platforms and environments required by our customers."

McCabe is also announcing a major update to McCabe EQ (Enterprise Quality), the advanced reporting engine for the McCabe IQ suite. With the release of McCabe EQ 1.2 users are now able to import and export IQ project data without having a direct network connection to the IQ data. This is useful if, for example, when the project team is dispersed and requires reporting on IQ data across the enterprise.

McCabe EQ is also updated with the capability of storing all of the new McCabe IQ code quality metrics, McCabe IQ custom/derived metrics and information on languages used in the McCabe IQ project.
