Testwell announces the availability of a new version of "CTC++ Host Run-Time add-on" for Testwell CTC++.
CTCHRT is a new innovation for measuring code coverage at target machines. In it the instrumented program at the target writes on the fly the coverage data to the host, where it is collected to a file (probefile). Later, at the host, a CTCHRT utility is run to read the probefile and to map the execution data to the instrumented source files and to create (or to sum up) the datafile, which contains the execution data in the normal CTC++ tool chain form. Thereafter the coverage and timing reports are obtained normally with the ctcpost and ctc2html utilities.
CTCHRT v2.0 is primarily an upgrade of this add-on component to the basic CTC++ v7.0 level. Also some enhancements in the tool. Linux support added (CTCHRT host side).
Further information is available from Testwell website.

Testwell CTC++ Test Coverage Analyzer and and TestWeaver are now working together. TestWeaver generates and runs thousands of test cases, while Testwell CTC++ measures the code coverage automatically achieved this way.
The resulting code coverage is reported by Testwell CTC++ using various tables.
The combination of the two tools can be used to develop control software for automotive and aerospace applications, for medical devices and embedded systems. Benefits for developers are high test coverage and low workload for test engineers, since test cases are generated automatically.
TestWeaver is available from QTronic GmbH Berlin.

Verifysoft announces the release of the "Borland C++ 5.0.2 IDE" add-on which seamlessly integrates Testwell CTC++ (Test Coverage Analyzer for C/C++) into the Borland C++ IDE.
This allows Borland C++ developers to measure code coverage with CTC++ within that integrated environment.
CTC++ is a powerful code coverage and dynamic analysis tool for C and C++. Whereas CTC++ already supports all actual Borland C++ versions using the makefile mechanism, the "Borland C++ 5.02 IDE" add-on facilitates every Borland C++ developer to measure code coverage in an intuitive and easy to use way directly from the Borland C++ IDE.
Compiling 16-bit code is supported but requires a separately available CTC++ Host-Target add-on.
Fully functional evaluation copies are available.
We wish to thank the Tools55 project for its work which provided the basis of our integration of CTC++ into the Borland C++ IDE..
(24 November 2003)
CTC++ for Symbian Target Devices, an add-on package to the succesful test coverage analysis CTC++ has been released. It facilitates code coverage measurements at the Symbian OS target devices, i.e. at the mobile phones itself.

(29 October 2003)
Testwell anounced today the release of CTC++ version 5.2. The upgrade is available on all supported platforms (Windows, Linux, Solaris and HPUX). The previous version was CTC++ v5.0.10.
The v5.2 contains, besides the following bigger enhancements:
- Introduced 'ctcmerge' add-on utility
- Introduced a technique to 'instrument for function call trace'
- Introduced an alternate way to allocate the counter areas from heap, which makes it easier to test modules that are freed from memory in the middle of the test run, e.g. dynamically freed DLLs on Windows
- Timing instrumentation is now better supported
- Enhancements in the ctc2html utility
- Enhanced the CTC++/Visual Studio 6.0 integration, e.g., now full CTC++ options repertoire can be used at "CTC++ Build/Clean..."
- On Windows the code under test can now be compiled also with __stdcall and __fastcall calling conventions, previously only with __cdecl
- On Windows enhanced the Symbian EPOC emulator use with command line mode of use, previously the usage was supported only via Visual Studio IDE. We hope to soon release a "CTC++ for Symbian Target Devices" add-on.
The Host-Target add-on component is so far unchanged and usable as before.
> more information about CTC++
(December 2002)
The Windows version can now be used out-of-the-box also with Borland C++ and with gcc/g++, besides the previous Visual C++. New (more strict) instrumentation of case/default labels in "fall through" situations. Introduced new means to more easily adapt CTC++ to some cross-compilers (needed in CTC++/Host-Target). Preliminary support for 64-bit applications on Solaris and HP-UX, call for details.
