Hi: I have a customer that just asked me what 3rd party tools are available that will do: 1. Memory leak detection 2. Code coverage analysis during testing (what code was actually executed) He originally wanted Pure Atria's Purify - but it doesn't run on Digital UNIX. I told him that Fuse will do memory leak detection and sent him the SPD. Does Fuse also have a module that does #2 above or do we have another product that will do this on Digital UNIX? I would like to present him with both a complete solution from Digital along with any 3rd party tools that will do the same and run on our platform. Any and all help will be appreciated - as usual this is "critical" Regards, -BAP

Well, the FUSE Profiler will do code coverage. However, it will need a bit of manual work to use in a test system, where an application may be run many times in different tests and you want to look at the results for all of them combined. For third-party tools for finding memory leaks & other memory errors, try looking at this web page, which lists a lot of them: http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~zorn/MallocDebug.html I know that Sentinel & Insure++ both run on Digital Unix, as does the Debug Malloc library. I haven't looked at all the others yet. I'm still looking into third-party code coverage tools that run on Digital Unix but I haven't come up with anything yet. Mark Finlayson | |||||

You can find a list of code coverage & similar tools located at: http://www.stlabs.com/marick/faqs/t-eval.htm Not all of these work on Digital Unix. Insure++ (which also does memory leak checking) does code coverage too. Mark Finlayson | |||||
