Parasoft Jtest automatically executes your code and creates a snapshot of its behavior. Whenever the changes are made to the code, Jtest will compare the existing snapshot with the new results of the run and report unexpected results found in relation to the changed code. This process creates very effective regression test…

Parasoft Jtest automatically creates test cases for your code and captures its behavior. You can then validate the code's adherence to specification/requirements by validating the captured behavior. Additionally, Jtest can monitor a running application and capture tests with the ?real data values? and ?real sequence calls?…

In many situations, it is extremely difficult to consistently run tests on a complex system (for example, if your code is altering databases, depending on functionality provided by the application server or web container, and/or communicating with other systems outside of the control of your development group). Parasoft…

Parasoft Jtest typically achieves 60-70% code coverage ?out of the box? by analyzing your code. Additionally, by monitoring a running application, Jtest can create tests with the ?real sequences of calls? and ?real data values? used as the application is exercised. If necessary, these test cases can then be extended to…

Parasoft Jtest can leverage your existing test cases in a couple of ways. First, during test execution Jtest will automatically detect your existing JUnit tests, and provide a combined report for all the tests executed. This report will include comprehensive code coverage calculations and all exceptions found. Second,…

Parasoft Jtest scans your Java code for various security violations so they can be addressed development, which is a critical step in building security into your application. The best approach to building safe applications is to build security into the application software (as opposed to testing for security…

Testing any and all Java components that depend on the presence of web containers or application servers can be very complex. To ensure that these components are operating properly, a three-fold testing approach is recommended. 1. While you are in development and are not yet ready to deploy the components on the server:…

Testing any and all Java components that depend on the presence of web containers, application servers, or messaging layers can be very complex. To ensure that these components are operating properly, a two-fold testing approach is recommended. 1. Test your implementation layer: Use Parasoft Jtest to analyze this code-- as…

Since Jtest's automated coding standards analysis virtually eliminates the need for line-by-line inspections during peer code reviews, these reviews can focus on high-return value analysis, such as examining design, algorithmic, or implementation issues. Moreover, Jtest's new Code Review module helps automate the code…

I see that when you run a load test, you can view the errors that occured. However, it only shows the faultCode, faultString, and faultActor. Is it possible to view the actual request and full response that caused the error during the load test? Thanks so much for your help! Mary

I've recently installed WebKing. I'm trying to run a few scans on a dynamic web application, so I tried to record a path with Internet Explorer.

Is there a way to control the automatic generation of data for a field in a test case? How exactly does the "Auto" option work?

I have seen that several times I will receive a READ_DANGLING inside of a destructor while accessing class member variables. Is Insure++ marking the memory as deallocated as soon as it hits operator delete() but prior to the actual destructor call?

Unexpected paths?What, by definition, are 'unexpected paths' ? From what I can tell, the manual does not say. I am speculating that, in the case of an if () {} else {} construct, the 'if' path is the 'expected' one and the 'else' path is the unexpected one. Is this the case? If so, where does this terminology come from?

I know this can be done in Literal View, or Form XML, or even scripted XML, but I am hoping there is a more global method. When I use Form Input and add a header for…
