ParaSoft Launches Insure++ V4.1, Newest Version of Award-Winning Automatic Error Detection Tool for C/C++; Faster and Better Debugging and Testing for Development on Windows.MONROVIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 1998--ParaSoft Corp., leading provider of quality software development tools, Monday announced the release of Insure++ v4.1 for Windows, the newest version of its award-winning automatic runtime error A problem that is encountered when a program is being executed. Runtime errors can occur in software environments for many different reasons; for example, peripheral devices may not be turned on or instructions may be invalid. detection tool. Users benefit from Insure++ v4.1 instantly. As Perry Nguyen, programmer at IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) attested, "In its first 5 minutes of use, it discovered memory overwrite (1) A data entry mode that writes over existing characters on screen when new characters are typed in. Contrast with insert mode. (2) To record new data on top of existing data such as when a disk record or file is updated. bugs that BoundsChecker never uncovered in over 6 months of analysis! Insure++ is a great, time-saving tool!" Insure++ v4.1 reflects ParaSoft's active pursuit to provide the software developer with tools to create Total Quality Software. "The enhancement of Insure++ v4.1," confirmed CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ParaSoft, Dr. Adam Kolawa, "is part of our consistent effort to make production of robust and high-quality software faster, simpler and more effective." New Features in Insure++ v4.1 This version contains new features that heighten efficiency and confirm that Insure++ v4.1 is the most accurate debugging software available. Enhancements include: Faster and Better Operations: With quicker parsing See parse. parsing - parser including full egcs 2.8.0/g++ 2.8.0 support and accelerated runtime, the time spent debugging is even shorter. Improved Microsoft Developer Studio Interaction: Greater Developer Studio integration and support for DevStudio 6.0 means greater flexibility for Windows-based programmers. Increased Functionality of INSRA, Its Report Analyzer GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. : "Suppression" -- turning off of unwanted error messages DOS and Windows error messages are listed individually in this database by the message that is displayed when they occur. See also DOS error messages and Application Error.  -- across different view modes, automatic duplicate error suppression for CodeWizard (source code analyzer), context-sensitive error suppression and the ability to add comments to suppressions result in a more efficient and simpler bug detection process. New "AutoReports" Option for INUSE: "AutoReports" allows the developer to view how his or her program is handling dynamic memory at runtime and instantly see leaks, bottlenecks and other memory-related problems. More Customization Options: New options include the ability to specify initial INSRA view mode, giving developers control over the order in which error messages are displayed (i.e. by error, by file). About Insure++ Insure++ provides C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ developers with the most thorough automatic runtime error detection available. Only Insure++ uses state-of-the-art "Mutation Testing" technology to pinpoint the widest array of bugs, including memory and algorithmic errors, then provides all the information necessary to repair the bugs immediately. Insure++ dramatically reduces the time and frustration of debugging, traditionally the most time-consuming phase of software development. With Insure++, software development is faster and simpler and maintenance is easier and more effective. Add-ons to Insure++ include TCA TCA 1. trichloroacetic acid. 2. tricarboxylic acid cycle (Krebs cycle). TCA Tricyclic antidepressant, see there and INUSE. TCA is a coverage analysis tool that lets developers and testers see how much code Insure++ actually tested. Using Insure++ and TCA can help developers and testers create more effective test suites, resulting in more bugs found before software is released to customers. INUSE is a dynamic memory "visualization" tool which lets developers "see" how their program handles dynamic memory in real-time. Using INUSE, developers can quickly spot memory leaks, memory blowout, performance bottlenecks and other problems easily missed by conventional debugging methods. Pricing and Availability Special bundling packages are available for Insure++ for Windows, which include add-on tools, INUSE and TCA, as well as ParaSoft's separately available source code analysis tool, Code Wizard.
