C++test Product Overview
Parasoft C++test is an integrated solution for automating a broad range of best
practices proven to improve software development team productivity and software
quality. C++test enables coding policy enforcement, static analysis, comprehensive
code review, and unit and component testing to provide teams a practical way to
ensure that their C and C++ code works as expected. C++test can be used both on
the desktop under leading IDEs as well as in batch processes via command line
interface for regression testing.C++test integrates with Parasoft’s GRS reporting
system, which provides interactive Web-based dashboards with drill-down capability, allowing teams
to track project status and trends based on C++test results and other key process metrics.
For embedded and cross-platform development, C++test can be used in both host-based and target-
based code analysis and test flows.
C++test is packaged and licensed in the following editions designed to separate functionality to
specific roles and processes in the typical software development environment:
C++test Professional Edition
C++test Architect Edition
C++test Server Edition
Edition details are described in C++test Editions and Licenses.

Benefits
Increase team development productivity — Apply a
comprehensive set of best
practices that reduce
testing time, testing effort, and the number of
defects that reach QA.
Achieve more with existing development resources —
Automatically vet known
coding issues so more time
can be dedicated to tasks that require human
intelligence.
Build on the code base with confidence — Efficiently
construct, continuously execute,
and maintain a
comprehensive regression test suite that detects
whether updates break
existing functionality.
Gain instant visibility into C and C++ code quality
and readiness — Access on-
demand objective code
assessments and track progress towards quality and
schedule targets.
Reduce support costs — Automate negative testing on
a broad range of potential user
paths to uncover
problems that might otherwise surface only in
“real-world” usage.

“Having the ability to automatically
generate and execute Cactus tests for
our Java EE applications in a live runtime
environment makes life easier. Parasoft
Jtest has reduced the resources
required to ensure the reliability of our
core trading systems, where glitches
and down-time are not acceptable.”
