Version 7.0 of Parasoft C++test 7.0 and Parasoft Insure++ 7.1 automate best practices. C++test enables coding policy enforcement, static code review and unit and component testing. The 7.0 release features plugins for the Visual Studio and Eclipse IDEs. “It is completely IDE-based,” said Sergei Sokolov, professional services product manager at Parasoft.Also new in the product is Bug Detective, which traces and simulates execution paths to expose runtime bugs that would otherwise be difficult to find. A new Code Review Module automates peer code reviews. C++test 7.0 integrates with Wind River Workbench for device development environments. Insure++ 7.1 is a memory runtime checking tool. “It looks for things that crash your programs,” Sokolov said. The product verifies proper use of Standard Template Library during runtime to provide dynamic verification of STL containers, iterators, pointers and references. Users can find insidious bugs that result from improper STL usage, Parasoft said. The enterprise editions of C++test 7.0 and Insure++ 7.1 cost about $50,000 each for a five-license configuration.
