Software Research, Inc. Setting the Standard for Software Testing UNIX Solution

Software Research, Inc. Experts in Software System Testing 1977Founded as a consulting and R&D firm 1987First products released 1991 Released Software TestWorks (STW), an integrated testing system 1996 Over 5,000 sites using STW

Why Use Quality Evaluation Tools? It’s the most cost-effective way to verify that software and tests are high quality Evaluation MethodRisk Let customer check quality Check quality manually Check quality with tools High defect rate Low customer satisfaction High labor cost Error prone Cost of tool Setup time

Pixel-by-pixel comparison of image files Detects color differences Line and byte comparisons for ASCII files Extensive masking capabilities EXDIFF TM Advanced Differencing Utility for UNIX STW/Regression

STW/Coverage TM Ensuring That Tests Are Complete STW/Coverage

STW Coverage TM Advanced Coverage Utility for UNIX Measures the completeness of test cases Improves quality by focusing the creation of additional tests Saves time by not creating tests for code that is already exercised Improves process by providing measurements STW/Coverage

STW/Coverage TM Tools The Best Coverage System Available STW/Coverage

TCAT TM Test Coverage Analysis Tool Coverage for True Time, OCR, Widgets Language dependent Developers’ unit test (Branch) Test/QA during integration test (Call-Pair) Test/QA during system test (Branch/CallPair) Mission-critical module testing (Path Analysis) STW/Coverage

TCAT 9 TM The State-of-the-Art in Coverage Testing Combined C and C++ language support New, easy-to-use graphical user interface Large variety of reports Language-specific options (tasking, exceptions) New Release!

TCAT-PATH TM Intensive Path Coverage for Critical Modules Groups paths into equivalence classes Ct metric testing Shows how to design better path tests Invisible path detection Graphic displays of path STW/Coverage

T-SCOPE TM Test Data Observation and Analysis System Real-time display of logical branches and call-trees as they are being exercised Customizable threshold values Digraphs and call-trees highlighted when hit Especially useful in determining why certain parts of a program are not being covered STW/Coverage

STW/Advisor TM Test Data Observation and Analysis System STW/Advisor

STW/Advisor TM The Complete Tool Set for Evaluating Program Modules and Source Code STW/Advisor

METRIC TM Software Metrics Processor and Generator Quantitatively determines quality of code Wide selection of metrics to choose from –Halstead Software Science (data complexity) –Cyclomatric Complexity (logic complexity) Customizable, easy-to-read reports –Exception reports (code that exceeds thresholds) –Graphical Kiviat charts STW/Advisor

STATIC TM Static Analyzer For C and C++ Shortens to time between error creation and error detection Analyzes source code for full range of errors –Over 300 syntactical, warning and other messages Customizable message filters for efficiency Extensive bug detection capabilities STW/Advisor

Static Saves Time by... Identifying code that may be error-prone Identifying code that may not be portable Identifying code that does not need coding standards Identifying code that may have memory management problems: e.g., uninitialized pointers, array-bound errors, memory utilization STW/Advisor

TDGEN TM Test Data Generator Auto-generates additional tests to more fully exercise the program Substitutes new data values into test script Template files act as placeholders for auto-generated values Hundreds of new tests created quickly STW/Advisor
