AccVerify® Integration Pack for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise enables content quality and accessibility assurance for .NET developers

Concord, NH, (December 16, 2002) HiSoftware, Inc., the leader in enterprise content quality management solutions, announced today the new AccVerify integration pack for Microsoft® Visual Studio .NET Enterprise, allowing for integrated verification of accessibility, searchability, privacy policy and other custom content integrity requirements for Visual Studio .NET Enterprise developers. HiSoftware Companies “Acc” product family integrates “out of the box” with Microsoft’s web content management solutions, Content Management Server and Share Point Portal Server. The AccVerify integration pack for Visual Studio .NET Enterprise demonstrates HiSoftware’s commitment to delivering the industry's first applications to address content quality across the .NET application architecture.

AccVerify's Integration for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET is used to verify content and web based applications or services for Quality and Integrity. It allows organizations to easily integrate content quality and integrity into their enterprise performance tuning and functional testing architecture. This results in shortened web publishing cycles through linking collaboration, publishing, and the Content/Application Audit processes.

“As the number of requirements that web site content and web based application must meet increase, an integrated strategy for web content quality management becomes an increasingly critical component of a successful online business strategy,” said Robert B. Yonaitis, CEO and President of HiSoftware, Inc. “AccVerify enables .NET Enterprise developers to automate the process of validating web based content, applications and services for compliance with accessibility guidelines, legal requirements, industry best practices and enterprise policies.”

AccVerify provides a custom test development suite that allows users to define specific accessibility, usability, searchability, privacy and other custom content quality factors for validation. This is designed to provide extensibility of the validation system provided within the products to match any specific need not covered by a publicly available standard or guideline. Test features, formats and customization can be pre-configured by an organization’s experts and/or policy managers so that developers, quality assurance professionals and other content creators within the organization, using the “Acc” products, can simply run these programmatic tests and receive a result, without any requirement for software configuration.

Users of the applications will be able to:

• Test for Accessibility & Usability: Section 508, WCAG 1.0, WCAG 2.0, CLF, XAG & any standard derived from WCAG or Section 508

• Test for compliance with custom guidelines and policies for all content including but not limited to: HTML, XHTML, SVG, XML and any other text or element based content

• Custom validation is also supported for: CSS, XSL, SVG, JavaScript, VBScript, and other text or element based content

• Ships with Comprehensive Reports for: Accessibility, Searchability, Privacy Policy, Metadata Policy and Usability.

Additional support is available for testing for privacy policies, HIPAA related compliance or other custom organizational standards. More information about this new utility is available at:

HiSoftware’s Product line includes a combination of user-driven interactive desktop solutions that allow developers to test their content for conformance with standards, and server side remote applications that allow for automated and remote testing. A scalable architecture provides a faster deployment time and lower cost of ownership for the solution set. In addition to providing complete enterprise architecture for content policy management, the solutions can be extended through their full application programming Interface (API) so that Systems Integrators and Users can integrate AccVerify and AccMonitor into their content management or testing architectures. This provides the ability to run policy verification and repair solutions as part of the process from within their content delivery systems.
