  CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO RULE 13A-14 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934


I, Jason K. Raza, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
     March 31, 2006 of TouchStone Software Corporation;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
     statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this quarterly report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
     material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
     flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
     quarterly report;

4.   The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining the disclosure controls and procedures (as
     defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we
     have:

     a.   designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
          material information relating to the registrant, including its
          consolidated subsidiary, is made known to us by others within those
          entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly
          report is being prepared;

     b.   evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
          and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
          this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date"); and

     c.   presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
          evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

5.   The Registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
     committee of the Registrant's board of directors (or person performing the
     equivalent function):

     a.   all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          control which could adversely affect the Registrant's ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
          identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in
          internal controls; and

     b.   any fraud, whether material or not material, involves management or
          other employees who have a significant role in the Registrant's
          internal controls.

6.   The registrants's other certifying officer and I have indicated in the
     quarterly report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
     controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
     controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including
     any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
     weaknesses.
