The story
NuMega was founded in 1987 and built its reputation on low-level debugging tools for the Windows platform. Its flagship product SoftICE operated at the kernel level, allowing developers to debug code that would otherwise be invisible to user-mode tools, including device drivers and operating system components.
In 1995, the company acquired the Marquis Computing, Inc. assets VB/CodeReview and VB/FailSafe, and hired its president, Hank Marquis to manage NuMega's Visual Basic product line.
In December 1997, NuMega was acquired by Compuware, becoming NuMega Labs of Compuware. The lab subsequently moved to Merrimack, New Hampshire, and was shut down on 11 June 2007.
In June 2009, Compuware sold the former NuMega product portfolio, intellectual property and remaining staff to UK-based Micro Focus.
