Open Source testing tools are being used aggressively and there are many tools over the web for Java Applications. These tools are great asset to the development teams and provides many features / services over the quality of applications under development. We can use this as the starting point and focus more efforts on the uncovered areas for better quality. Continue reading
Tweet Interesting trends are happening around Static Analysis and Code Quality. The tools vendors closely looking at each of the code quality metrics and merging them to have a better metric. We can see the pattern from Agitar by coming up with CRAP4J. Here is one more vendor coming up Continue reading
Tweet I have come across yet another static analysis tool for Java programs. ENERGY is a free static analysis tool to measure code quality & presents overall status on the health of source code. Energy comes with a code quality metric by combining the bug patterns on the source code Continue reading
Tweet I have been talking about Code Quality through Static Analysis for a while here, here & here. The quality for any application development must begin from it’s gross roots and the Application Code is one of it’s starting point to begin with.Static Analysis techniques help us to identify some Continue reading
Tweet As a Tester & Developer, it’s pretty common to see NoClassDefFoundError. It’s not that easy always to figureout the required jars for the application. Whatjar comes with a lot of search capabilities to identify and download the required jars. Whatjar is a high-performance, search engine written using Java and Continue reading
Tweet The applications become complex as their code base increases. This has challenges for the testers to determine the nonlinear paths in the application.Most of the Static Analysis tools over the application code helps us to identify the cyclomatic complexity (nonlinear paths) at a method level. These might be helpful Continue reading
Tweet Bug Database for the products might have thousands of issues over a period of time against various builds and releases. Though these issues fixed over a period of time, it might be hard to derive meaningful metrics over the release. We need to support these releases over the production Continue reading
