New Online Tool Allows Organizations to Compare Site
                    Performance to Competitors'

DETROIT, Feb. 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Gomez, the Web
performance division of Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR), launched a
free online Custom Benchmark tool that lets IT, Web and marketing teams
compare the performance of their Web site to competitors, peers, or
industry leaders. The new tool is available at
http://www.gomez.com/my-benchmark/.

Numerous industry studies have shown a direct correlation between Web
site performance and online business performance. For example, Aberdeen
Group found that sites taking more than five seconds to load reduce
customer conversions by seven percent and customer satisfaction by 16
percent1.

Equally important is how an organization's Web site performs versus its
competition; if your competitor's Web site is faster, customers will
likely spend more time and money there. Until now, organizations have
had no easy way to compare their site performance to that of their
competitors. The new Gomez Custom Benchmark tool makes this easy and
free.

To create a custom benchmark, businesses simply provide their own URL
and the URLs of up to four other sites against which they wish to be
compared. Within 24 hours, and every day for seven days, they will
receive a custom benchmark performance report that ranks the
performance and availability of all the URLs, complete with averages,
highs, lows and trending information.

"Customer loyalty on the Web is fickle, and even one second can make
the difference between making and losing a sale. Measuring Web
performance is important, but knowing how your site performs compared
to your competitors' sites is even more valuable," said Matt Poepsel,
Vice President, Performance Strategies, Gomez division. "The insights
businesses can freely glean from our new Custom Benchmark tool will be
a critical first step towards optimizing their site performance and
ultimately, their bottom line."

The Custom Benchmark tool is available now at
