Press Release
Body = August 9, 2005 – Monrovia, CA – Parasoft Corporation,
leading provider of automated error prevention solutions, announced
today the general release of Parasoft C++Test 6.5, an automated
unit testing and coding standard
analysis tool suite designed to help software engineers prevent
the occurrence of software errors as they develop. C++Test 6.5 extends
the product’s powerful ability to find and resolve critical
software errors in C/C++ code with enhancements to both
code analysis and unit testing as wells as increased platform and
team support.
With Parasoft
C++Test 6.5 software source code can now be validated against over
600 C/C++ coding standards and guidelines that reflect industry
standard best practices in code design and construction that address
code reliability, performance, maintainability, and security. C++Test
6.5 includes a new rule set based on the C++
coding standards book by Sutter and Alexandrescu. A new RuleWizard
Autocreator is provided, expanding the options for creating custom
coding rules. The Autocreator allows users to easily create their
own custom rules or guidelines by simply providing RuleWizard a
sample of “bad C or C++ code” as the guideline for automatic
rule creation.
Unit tests can
now be automatically generated in C or C++ source code allowing
easy customization and enhanced ability to maintain them under source
control. The new unit test engine also allows direct import and
execution of existing CppUnit test
cases. Among other unit test enhancements are extended capabilities
of importing data sets for test case generation, stub management,
and automated refactoring of test cases.
C++Test 6.5
extends support for embedded software development efforts by adding
support for the Greenhills MULTI 4.0 complier and IDE.
“This
new release of C++Test is a significant step forward for us in test
technology, providing capabilities to automatically generate and
maintain unit test cases in C or C++ source. Developers always want
to have complete control over the tests after they are generated,
and our version 6.5 gives them precisely that,” said Sergei
Sokolov, Parasoft C++Test Product Manager. “The release contains
a wealth of
other added functionality aimed at better integration into popular
development environments and flows.”
Availability
C++Test 6.5 is available for Linux, Solaris and Windows NT/2000/XPAbout
C++Test
Parasoft C++Test
is an Automated Error Prevention product that automates C and C++
unit testing and coding standard analysis to help prevent software
errors and ensure that code is structurally sound, reliable, maintainable,
and portable. C++Test
analyzes C functions or C++ classes, then generates and executes
a test harness, test cases, and stubs designed to verify the code
under test. You can add and customize test cases and stubs through
user-friendly GUI controls, and view coverage details for all automatically-generated
and user-defined test cases. C++Test also checks whether code follows
600+ coding standard rules plus any number of custom
rules that users can easily design via the GUI-based RuleWizard
editor. For more information visit: www.parasoft.com/cpptest
