About Reasoning's InstantQA InstantQA finds critical software defects that traditional testing misses, faster, earlier, and at much lower cost by using advanced automated software inspection technology, highly skilled software quality specialists, and a proven methodology. InstantQA finds defects:
-- Fast -- Analysis of a large software application is performed in
less than one week.
-- Without Test Cases -- Defects are found by looking at an
application's structure, which allows 100% code coverage and does
not require test case development.
-- Earlier and at Lower Cost -- Inspection is performed at the
source-code level, so defects are found earlier in the software
development cycle, when defect repair is much less expensive.
-- Without Taxing In-house Resources -- Product-based software
testing tools require internal staff for installation and
maintenance. InstantQA eliminates this problem and provides all
the additional resources needed.
InstantQA finds a wide range of critical software defects in C, C++, and Cobol. Services for Java will be supported in future releases. Results from an InstantQA engagement include a prioritized list of defects found in one or more software applications, with corresponding source code locations. Customers that use InstantQA benefit from fewer defects to locate during testing cycles, fewer defects that slip into production, and software that is more reliable.
