Testing tools for C, C++ and Java
2000 news from Testwell
CTC++ v5.x/Developer Studio Integration available November 2000
This is a major enhancement in the Win-NT/9x Visual C++ variant of CTC++. Now also the CTC++ v5.x usage on this platform can be done via the Developer Studio GUI,quite similar as with the previous CTC++ v4.x level. Technically the 'core CTC++' is v5.0.3 and it contains some small enhancements, too.
Testwell exhibiting at EuroSTAR 2000, Copenhagen 6-8 December 2000 October 2000
EuroSTAR is a major testing conference and test tools exhibition in Europe, see http://www.eurostar.ie. We will have there a joint stand with our distributor Testlight GmbH and demonstrate our C/C++ testing tool products CTA++, CTB, CTC++ and CMT++.
CTB 4.2 available October 2000
This upgrade follows v4.1.3. In this version there are some bug corrections and enhancements both in the generator and in the test bed run-time library. Notably the following two enhancements are mentioned:
1) Introducing a capability to smoothly integrate the test bed generation to 'make'. The benefit is that the arrangement facilitates a convenient and automated means for generating the test harness code and its compilation with consistent options to which the actual code under test is being compiled.
2) Introducing a capability to generate the test beds incrementally. That is, new code modules under test can be added to a unified test bed and existing code modules under test can be replaced from a unified test bed without needing to reparse the unchanged code modules. The unified test bed integrity can be controlled by 'make'.The benefit is a significant speed up in the overall processing when there are very large code volumes involved.
Upgrade to CTC++ v4.3/Developer Studio Integration Kit October 2000
Similarly as the previous June 2000 upgrade, this upgrade is relevant only to the CTC++ v4.3 users on Windows-NT/9x with VC++. There are some bug corrections to the Developer Studio integration of the tool. Also there are some bug corrections and enhancements in the 'core CTC++'. All these are relevant only if the tool is used in certain demanding situations, like with very large hierarchical projects or when instrumented DLLs are being loaded and unloaded programmatically.

It is our aim that this will be the last upgrade that we will release on CTC++ v4.x level. The CTC++ v5.0 has already been released on all of our supported platforms. And soon also we will release a similar CTC++/Developer Studio integration add-on component as there is in CTC++ v4.3 on Win-NT/9x platform.

Upgrade to CTC++ v4.3/Developer Studio Integration Kit June 2000
This upgrade is relevant only to the CTC++ v4.3 users on Windows-NT/9x with VC++ Developer Studio platform. Now the the browser is automatically started when a html-form of coverage report is requested. One extreme-situation bug fix is done. The tool installation now takes place with InstallShield.
CTA++ v2.2.1 available June 2000
CTA++ v2.2 -->v2.2.1 upgrade has been released and is immediately available. Especially in this version the tools's support for testing multi-threaded code has been enhanced. Also some minor bug corrections. On Windows platform the tool installation now takes place with InstallShield.
CTC++ v5.0 available May 2000
This CTC++ v5.0 version is a major upgrade and rewrite of the previous CTC++ v4.3 version of the tool. The big improvement is in the ease-of-use of the tool. Now the instrumentation phase is smoothly integrated to compilation command. Instrumentation is done simply by adding 'ctc' in front of the compilation command. Also use by existing makefiles is most easy, i.e. building instrumented executable instead of the original one. The C/C++ language instrumentation technique, which has been found to be very robust, is effectively unchanged in this version.

CTC++ 5.0 is immediately available on all platforms we support: Win-NT/9x VC++, Win-NT/9x BC++, SunSPARC/Solaris, HPUX (both 10.20 and 11), Intel/Linux. Also DEC Alpha OSF1 can be delivered. On Win-NT/9x VC++ platform the previous CTC++ v4.3 remains to be also available for some time for customers, who prefer to use such Developer Studio integration as CTC++ v4.3 has. Our plan is eventually implement something similar into the CTC++ v5.0 on that platform. On Windows platform the tool installation now takes place with InstallShield.

CTA++ v2.2 available now also on HP-UX 11 May 2000
CTA++ v2.2 has been ported on HP-UX 11 and is immediately available.
CTA++ v2.2 available February 2000
This version is an upgrade to the previous CTA++ v2.1/v2.2 beta 4. This upgrade contains some enhancements in datafile handling, in displaying integral values in symbolic #defined and enumerated names, etc. Also a stub generator utility (header file -->CTA++ stub skeletons) is introduced.
CTB v4.1.3 available February 2000
This version is an upgrade to the previous CTB v4.1.1 (in Win-NT VC++ platform there was also CTB v4.1.2) version level. This upgrade, which effectively has been worked up by Testlight, contains some bug corrections and small enhancements.
Upgrade to CTC++ v4.3/Developer Studio Integration Kit January 2000
This upgrade is relevant only to CTC++ users on Windows-NT/95 with VC++ Developer Studio. This upgrade contains corrections on a couple of extreme-situation bugs in the integration.
CMT++ v3.1.1 available January 2000
    This is a  small version upgrade v3.1--> v3.1.1. This version brings some extreme-situation bug corrections to the CMT++/MSVC++ Developer Studio Integration Kit and one enhancement into CMT++/Excel cooperation.
