best library
check this out. expressbars suite (developer express) wins again with a convincing 34% of your votes. the big story in this category is that fastscript (fastreports) has come out of nowhere to take 19% and second place.
best modeling/case tool
nothing new here. modelmaker, rational rose, and cdk (developer express) finished one, two, and three, just as they did last year, and by very nearly the same percentages.
best reporting tool
race to the swift. it's been a long time coming, but fastreport (fastreports) has finally taken first place (42%), from digital metaphors' reportbuilder (33%).
best scheduling/calendar
the same, just more so. this category is three years old, and has had the same winner and runner-up for all three years. tms tplanner/tdbplanner (tms software) took first place with 72% (last year it was 63%), and jazmine calendar/pim widgets (jazmine components) took second place with 11% (down from last year's 17%).
best security tool
all new lineup. this is the second year for this category, and it's proving to be volatile with a new cast of characters in first and second place. tms security system (tms software) wins with 36%. streamsec tools (streamsec) and ice license (ionworx technology) tie for runner-up with 15% apiece. interestingly, none of these products made a ripple last year.
best team/project tool
make room! make room! also in its second year, this category must suddenly make room for borland's starteam (it wasn't commercially available as a standalone product last year). even so, team coherence (quality software components) managed a tie (at 34%) for first place. aqdevteam (automatedqa) places third again with 19%, while last year's runner-up pvcs professional (merant) drops to fourth place.
best testing/qa tool
test results. automatedqa's testcomplete dominates the category with 71% of the votes (last year it was 60%), while rational robot (ibm rational) has runner-up to itself with 16%. last year rational robot shared runner-up with devpartnerstudio (compuware), which drops to third.
best training
they're back! after falling to third place last year, infocan is back on top with 28%. and after winning two years in a row, jensen data systems slips to runner-up status with 23% of the vote. dropping from the runner-up status they enjoyed last year, falafel is still a player with third place and 16%.
