GUPTA CORP. AND SQA, INC. SIGN MARKETING PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

Automated GUI Client/Server Testing Tool Strengthens SQL Windows Offering
as Mission-Critical Client/Server Development Environment

MENLO PARK, CA - Oct. 25, 1993 -- Gupta Corporation and SQA, Inc. jointly
announced today the signing of a cooperative marketing agreement between
the two companies. Under the agreement Gupta and SQA will work together in
marketing SQA TeamTest, SQA's automated GUI client/server testing tool.
SQA develops and sells the product. For more information contact SQA at
617-932-0110.

The agreement is another step in Gupta's roll-out of the TIE (Tools
Integration for the Enterprise) architecture it announced at their
International Developer's Conference in September. TIE is designed to
strengthen Gupta's positioning as a mission-critical development vehicle
by making it easier for third-party products to be integrated with Gupta's
products. The addition of SQA's automated testing solution will assist
SQLWindows users in meeting the challenging job of testing their GUI
client/server applications.

"We are impressed with SQA's product in two areas," said Umang Gupta,
President and CEO of Gupta Corporation. "First, the point-and-click style
of SQA TeamTest matches the intuitive interface of SQLWindows. And second,
their team-testing approach fits well with our team development approach
in TeamWindows. We're leading the market in collaborative client/server
development, and they're leading the market in collaborative client/server
testing. The products are a good match."

Ron Nordin, President and CEO of SQA, said "SQLWindows has been offering
RAD (Rapid Application Development) productivity to its users for years.
SQA TeamTest complements that with the same degree of productivity for QA
Engineers. We call it RAD/QA. It's the only way a QA Engineer can possibly
match the productivity a developer gets in SQLWindows."

With the agreement, SQA officially becomes a Gupta ISY Technology Partner.
The partnership will expand the list of companies that are already using
SQA TeamTest with SQLWindows. SQA reports that a number of its customers
have been using both products together for over a year. The agreement is
effective immediately, and joint marketing efforts have already begun.
