WhiteBox™ 3.0

Introduction

WhiteBox™ 3.0 is produced by Reliable Software Technologies Corporation (RST), a leading authority and industry visionary on software assurance for business-critical software. WhiteBox™ 3.0 is the next generation Test Optimization tool combining test coverage and structural metrics analysis on the market today.

Overview

WhiteBox™ 3.0 is a code coverage tool that enable software development and testing organizations to get the benefits of software testing without changing development or testing procedures. The code coverage tool allows WhiteBox™ 3.0 to identify codes that are not yet tested, provides a mean to quantify test coverage and identifies cases that are redundant as to not to increase the amount of code.

Features

The features of WhiteBox™ 3.0 are:

• identify critical areas of code that remain untested
• navigate potential software problem areas
• gain a deeper understanding of their testing status
• obtain a focused view of future testing requirements
• measure risk in conjunction with code criticality
• valuable and easily understood by developers and quality assurance professionals
• simple to use
• scalable for large projects
• useful in deciding where to apply testing resources
• superior support for cross language environments (C / C++ / Java)
• merges results throughout project life-cycle and multiple test runs
• source based test coverage and static metrics
• advanced analysis, reporting, export capabilities
• ODBC compliant database support
• drill down analysis - namespace/class/file views
• source modification detection and management
• integrates with Symantec and Microsoft IDEs
• supports ANSI C / C++, and Java

Advantages

• WhiteBox™ 3.0 improves time productivity and time market by optimizing testing resources.
• By having the above features, WhiteBox ™ can help improve code quality by preventing untested code from reaching end-user.
• WhiteBox™ is easy to implement because it is designed not to change the build process. A developer simply has to simply prepends the "whitebox.exe" command onto the compile link.
• WhiteBox™ is conveniently integrated into Microsoft DevStudio and Symantec Visual Cafe IDE's, thus delivering coverage and metrics analysis at the click of a button.
• WhiteBox™ has simple analyzing results. All users have to do is to load result files into intuitive results browser. Includes too is the Rbrowse which provides flexible views of the test program including a variety of metrics and test coverage data about the code in the program.
• WhiteBox™ 3.0 delivers the most powerful cross language support and result merging options for C, C++ and Java available today for large integrated systems.
