Randy Hayes, Founder, has been involved in automated software testing for two decades. A utility called "Session Recorder" that Mr. Hayes created in 1983 formed the basis for AutoTester™, Inc.

AutoTester was the pioneer of the automated software testing industry, which is now represented by companies with multi-billion dollar market values. AutoTester's revenues in 1998 were $14 million.

After AutoTester, Randy co-founded WorkSoft™ with his sister, Linda Hayes. WorkSoft, is the maker of Certify™, a cross platform automated testing application that allows business analysts, rather than programmers, to develop automated test procedures.

Fidelity Investments was the first customer for this product, which is now being used extensively by their analysts to create complex test scenarios to verify business processes that span multiple applications on the company's network.

Charles Schwab recently completed a highly successful R&D project in which Certify was used to automate testing of mainframe, client server and Web applications, aimed at establishing Certify as the corporate standard for automated testing.

IBM signed a private label agreement to market Certify to their mainframe customers, calling it IBM Enterprise Test Suite.

In addition to pioneering efforts in the automated testing industry, Mr. Hayes' accomplishments include:

• co-authoring a multimedia CD-ROM course called Adult Literacy which is used in libraries, prisons and community colleges across the country.

• developing PC Copilot, a software product that allows handicapped people to operate a spreadsheet, word processor and email program using only spoken commands.

• developing E-Meet, a collaborative brainstorming tool allowing people in different locations and time zones to work on problem solving tasks together.

• developing two animated multimedia CD-ROM games - Jungle Games, based on the Lion King movie, and Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail.
