VeriTest Unveils New Testing Solutions for the Government Market

Customized Services Enable Federal Government Agencies to Manage Security, Scalability, Quality, Interoperability and Performance Challenges Across IT, Web and Wireless Applications

Washington, DC — March 23, 2004 — VeriTest, the testing division of Lionbridge Technologies (Nasdaq: LIOX), today unveiled a series of new testing solutions aimed at enabling federal government agencies and organizations to address security, scalability, interoperability and quality concerns related to wireless, web and IT applications. VeriTest will introduce these services at booth number 3442, at the FOSE government IT trade show being held this week at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.

"Federal IT initiatives, such as E-Gov and heightened Homeland Security requirements, have changed the way the Federal Government deploys wireless, web and IT applications and systems," said Katrina Teague, Vice President, Marketing and Solutions, VeriTest. "As the industry's most trusted provider for independent testing, verification and validation, VeriTest is the ideal organization to provide a range of targeted government testing services that agencies and systems integrators can rely on to ensure reliable, secure and high-performing programs throughout and across their organizations."

VeriTest's new testing services for government include:

• Wireless Testing: VeriTest provides a complete suite of testing services aimed at ensuring high performing, secure wireless applications for the government market. VeriTest wireless testing services include compatibility, functionality, integration, localization, third party application, synchronization, and/or interoperability testing on laptops, PDAs, VPNs, Web sites, GSM networks, WAP browsers, SMS centers, 802.11b PCMCIA cards, wireless print servers, connection management software, and more. VeriTest ensures that applications integrate seamlessly with wired LANs, are Wi-Fi based, support all necessary security standards, and provide support for sophisticated enterprise applications, voice services, and handheld devices.
• Quality Assurance: VeriTest has customized its proprietary quality assurance and testing process optimization (QATPO) methodology to address the specific needs of the government market. Testing consultants evaluate the software development lifecycle, QA process metrics, defect tracking tools, team roles, and structured testing techniques, then produce a process improvement roadmap. QATPO presents a customizable process optimization solution to government clients, from testing the functionality of "continuous change" Web applications used in E-Government programs, to migrating an enterprise to a cost-reduced O/S platform, while running a range of governmental standards.
• Web Application Testing: VeriTest delivers a comprehensive range of testing solutions to government program managers tasked with building and implementing Web systems. With 10 datacenter-equipped labs that feature top-of-the-line "Wintel" servers and equipment from Sun, IBM, and HP, VeriTest evaluates how government applications "scale up," fail-over, and otherwise function in 4-, 8-, 16-, and 32-way server environments. This Web application testing capacity allows VeriTest to provide the highest quality scalability and load testing to help government customers understand their true e-commerce capacity.
• IT Testing: VeriTest IT testing services determine critical scalability, performance and functionality issues that government organizations need to know as they integrate disparate systems across multiple agencies. VeriTest's migration testing services help agencies reduce the time, cost, and effort of moving to lower-TCO platforms. VeriTest's five-point program combines consultative planning, turnkey lab practices, secure processes and enterprise deployment services that enable agencies to identify performance bottlenecks and, more importantly, solve them.

VeriTest works with government agencies to provide the right testing solution to meet the agency's geographic, technical and budget needs. VeriTest provides testing services thought its full scale labs across the US, over the Internet, or on site at the agency or as a subcontractor. VeriTest has the engineering resources to test the most complex of multi-tier applications.

These testing services enable government agencies and systems integrators to release proven enterprise-scale applications to support E-Gov, Homeland Security, and other government needs.
