ParaSoft Ports Leading C/C++ Products to HP's Itanium-Based Architecture.Business Editors MONROVIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2001 ParaSoft Corp ParaSoft Corp - Distributors of the message passing system Express. ftp://ftp.parasoft.com/. Telephone: +1 (818) 792-9941. E-mail: <support@parasoft.com>. ., leading provider of error-prevention and error-detection software tools, today announced that two of its leading 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 ++ tools will port to Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Itanium-based systems. ParaSoft's CodeWizard and Insure++ software development tools on HP's Itanium-based systems lend themselves to the creation of high-performance, mission-critical applications. The availability of high-quality software tools for the high-end server and workstation markets benefits developers of complex programs that require the additional processing capability that Itanium 64-bit processing offers. This also eases the transition process from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture. CodeWizard, an automatic coding standards enforcement tool, and Insure++, an 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, perform software error prevention and detection functions for C/C++ developers. The availability of these two tools helps ensure that software developed within HP's new processing environment is of the highest quality possible. "We believe in the value that ParaSoft's tools contribute to the development process," said Arthur Hicken, ParaSoft's executive vice president. "Working with HP to bring two of our strongest products to HP's Itanium-based architecture is not only benefiting developers on their current programs, but opening an entire world of possibilities with the increased opportunities for developing on 64-bit processors." Earlier this year, ParaSoft announced its plans to support Itanium 64 products with its tools, making this relationship with HP the latest result of those efforts. "ParaSoft's development tools on the HP's Itanium-based architecture will help make the transition from 32-bit systems that much smoother," said Mark Hudson, worldwide marketing manager, HP Business Systems and Technology Organization. "We look forward to working with ParaSoft to promote these valuable development tools and provide our customers with the high-performance solutions that they need." In addition to porting CodeWizard and Insure++ to HP's Itanium-based systems, the two companies plan to co-market the tools for the systems via traditional and online marketing activities.

About Insure++ Insure++ is an automatic runtime error detection tool for C/C++ that finds the widest variety of programming and memory errors. Using patented Source Code Instrumentation (patent No. 5,581,969), Runtime Pointer Tracking (patent No. 5,842,019) and Mutation Testing (testing) Mutation Testing - A method to determine test set thoroughness by measuring the extent to which a test set can discriminate the program from slight variants of the program. technologies, Insure++ locates errors swiftly and precisely and provides needed information to fix the errors instantly. Insure++ features two add-on components: Inuse and Total Coverage Analysis (TCA TCA 1. trichloroacetic acid. 2. tricarboxylic acid cycle (Krebs cycle). TCA Tricyclic antidepressant, see there ). Inuse is a graphical utility that monitors how an application allocates memory. TCA reports parts of code that have and have not been tested.
