PINEBUSH Technologies was awarded the NY Capital Region Software Alliance award for Best Quality Product. This award is given to the company who has demonstrated that they place an extremely high emphasis on quality assurance and customer satisfaction.

Instead, the QA team is an integral part of the design team. This process assures that checks on quality occur throughout the entire system design and development period, not just at the completion of development. PINEBUSH's engineers and QA staff work in close coordination from a project's inception to its delivery in the marketplace.

The QA process is heavily automated. Each week, over 37,000 regression tests are run on all platforms (UNIX and Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP). Each test assures that the product performs correctly, runs as efficiently, and produces exactly the same output as it did when the test was initially verified. Any deviations are automatically flagged and corrected in engineering before the product ever reaches a customer.

PINEBUSH believes that this strong commitment to QA provides a distinct competitive advantage, and has set HyperPlot® above other CAD software products. It is one of the main reasons why HyperPlot® has become the IC industry standard for the plotting of complex designs.
