Parasoft was created by developers for developers.

We develop tools that we want to use ourselves, tools that are designed to make our lives easier and more productive.

We eat our own dog food–we don't sell a product or technology unless we use, we like it, and we adopt it.

If it's not good enough for us, we know it's not good enough for our customers. That is our promise to you.

• Our tools, for example Insure++, can find bugs that have been hidden in the code for 10 years—dangerous bugs that you probably chased after before, but simply could not find.
• If your application is mysteriously crashing or hanging, we can find these problems for you.

Eliminating and preventing defects—using top-quality rules that are tuned to find code patterns which lead to reliability, performance, and security problems.

Over 15 years of research and development have gone into fine-tuning Parasoft's rule set.

• It ends up being faster and easier to modify the code according to our rule suggestions than to try to find and fix errors later.
• If your application has difficult-to-find problems like race conditions or memory leaks, you can eliminate them by making your code adhere to our rules.
• The great thing about this— for example, with race conditions— is that you no longer need to know precisely where the bug is, how the system got into that state, or even how to reproduce the problem.

Tracking down complex runtime errors without running the code.

This technology simulates test case execution and detects errors across multiple units, components, and files.

• Nowadays, it's possible to automatically detect a lot of problems that people used to have to find manually—and this makes it extremely embarrassing to have users point out that your code throws exceptions.
• Errors found with this technology are almost impossible to detect through other means. You would need to create a huge range and scope of input conditions to cover the paths that this technology automatically finds and tests.
• If you apply flow analysis to your code, you can find critical problems like exceptions, uninitialized memory, issues related to leaking resources.

• You can get the security department off your back if your code adheres to our security rules. Code that is built properly will pass all of their security tests.
• The above also applies to other policies (FDA, custom, etc.)

• Code review is the most effective way to find functional errors.
• Code review is not effective if it is done ad hoc, randomly.
• Code review improves your productivity by teaching you about the code. This allows you to more rapidly determine how your modifications will impact other parts of the code base.

• Writing unit test cases for every use case forces you to look at each use case from a different perspective. This flushes errors, confirms that the functionality is implemented correctly, and makes you more productive.
• Success in unit testing requires 1) having tests written and 2) maintaining the tests. Most people don't think about this second part. If you don't maintain your unit test cases on a regular basis, they get out of sync with your code, and this diminishes their ability to check the continued functionality of your code. That's why our tools help you to maintain your unit test cases.

• If you don't have a regression test suite, modifying code is like walking on eggshells. That's why our tools help you build and maintain regression test suites which you run continuously.
• Regression testing increases your productivity in two ways. 1) It teaches you about correlations in the code: after you change something, regression testing shows you how the rest of the code base is affected. 2) It immediately alerts you to unexpected changes so you can fix them immediately—before they become functional defects that you will need to deal with later.

• It's no fun to be behind on your project, constantly sit in meetings, and constantly explain to the manager what you are doing.
• If you want to avoid all of that, use Parasoft Concerto. This makes your process much smoother, tells your manager that you are working, prevents a lot of meetings, and warns you if you might miss your deadline.
