New software solutions provide a complete scalable test management and remediation solution for Microsoft FrontPage

Concord, NH – July 28, 2003 – HiSoftware, Inc., today announced the release of the AccVerify DS2 product line for Microsoft FrontPage. The new solutions provide users with an adjustable workspace and a digital dashboard-reporting cluster that moves where the user needs it, adjusting to personal preferences without losing sight of needed functionality. AccVerify DS2 for FrontPage automatically scans for over 179 comprehensive accessibility checks, and assists organizations in their efforts to comply with government standards, including the U.S. Government's Section 508 and the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The solutions provide users with a complete, scalable enterprise-wide test management and remediation solution for Content defects, Usability testing, Search engine effectiveness, Site inventory, Web accessibility, Site maintenance and management of corporate standards. The solutions provide flexible reporting capabilities, database integration and a robust platform that will scale to meet the demands of the largest enterprise Web sites.

AccVerify DS2 for FrontPage provides a NEW integrated digital dashboard that incorporates streamlined report viewers and new preview modes-so users can test their pages for optimal performance under variable end-user scenarios. The dashboard reporting system provides easy access to executive level summary reports so that IT managers can obtain quick status reports within the application interface. Detailed analysis for developers and quality assurance teams is available with an additional click through the same highly customizable interface. Site quality, privacy, usability and custom tests results are available through the same flexible report viewer. New preview modes provide users with an integrated facility to test pages for functionality; without images, without color, without style sheet support, and in a “linearized” fashion. Preview modes are managed through both an embedded browser as well as through the user’s system default browser. New “preview mode” reporting features are also available through the NO COST AccVerify SE for Microsoft FrontPage 98, 2000 and 2002, available through a strategic relationship between HiSoftware Company and Microsoft Corporation.

AccVerify DS2 and AccRepair DS2 provide a NEW Form test and repair utility that allows FrontPage Web masters to quickly and easily validate and repair forms so that Web pages containing forms are accessible and in conformance with the applicable guidelines. A newly enhanced, advanced table repair utility simplifies and automates the process of complex table management for enterprise Web developers.


“The AccVerify DS2 Systems boldly transform needed utility into a task that users will become passionate about. We listened carefully to our customer's enhancement priorities and have dramatically improved support for issues that customers identify as development challenges. These priorities have been fully implemented in DS2, and we are pleased to provide our Microsoft FrontPage customers with the most complete and scalable accessibility and content quality management solution available,” said Robert B. Yonaitis, HiSoftware Company President and CEO. “ With AccVerify DS2, complex sites and web-based applications are opportunities to defy previous expectations of a Content Quality and Accessibility Systems performance, thanks to engineering ideals forged over six years of serving some of the largest government agencies and corporations in the world.”

Groundbreaking new technology included in the latest version of AccVerify DS2 system delivers advanced processing operations that provide significant advances in acceleration of the testing process allowing tests to be completed in a fraction of the time previously required. The AccVerify DS2 system continuously fine-tunes the use of cache, validation and reporting processes to feed the computer with all the tasks that it can handle. And in the AccRepair DS2, integrated repair libraries speed the remediation process. Components for management of multimedia captioning and metatag generation are easily accessible within the system console, making Web quality management a seamless workflow for software users.
