Jtest: Java Static Analysis, Code Review, Unit Testing, Security

Parasoft^® Jtest^® is an integrated solution for automating a broad range of practices proven to improve development team productivity and software quality. It focuses on practices for validating Java code and applications, and it seamlessly integrates with Parasoft SOAtest to enable end-to-end functional and load testing of today's complex, distributed applications and transactions.

Parasoft's customers, including 58% of the Fortune 500, rely on Jtest for:

Preventing defects that impact application security, reliability, and performance
Complying with internal or regulatory quality initiatives
Ensuring consistency across large and distributed teams
Increasing productivity by automating tedious yet critical defect-prevention practices
Successfully implementing popular development methods like TDD, Agile, and XP

Static code analysis	Facilitates regulatory compliance (FDA, PCI, etc.). Ensures that the code meets uniform expectations around security, reliability, performance, and maintainability. Eliminates entire classes of programming errors by establishing preventive coding conventions.
Data flow static analysis	Detects complex runtime errors related to resource leaks, exceptions, SQL injections, and other security vulnerabilities without requiring test cases or application execution.
Metrics analysis	Identifies complex code, which is historically more error-prone and difficult to maintain.
Peer code review process automation	Automates and manages the peer code review workflow- including preparation, notification, and tracking- and reduces overhead by enabling remote code review on the desktop.
Unit test generation and execution	Enables the team to start verifying reliability and functionality before the complete system is ready, reducing the length and cost of downstream processes such as debugging.
Runtime error detection	Automatically exposes defects that occur as the application is exercised-including race conditions, exceptions, resource & memory leaks, and security attack vulnerabilities.
Test case "tracing"	Generates unit test cases that capture actual code behavior as an application is exercised providing a fast and easy way to create the realistic test cases required for functional/regression testing.
Automated regression testing	Generates and executes regression test cases to detect if incremental code changes break existing functionality or impact application behavior.
Coverage analysis	Assesses test suite efficacy and completeness using a multi-metric test coverage analyzer. This helps demonstrate compliance with test and validation requirements such as FDA.
Team deployment and workflow	Establishes a sustainable process that ensures software verification tasks are ingrained into the team's existing workflow and automated so team members can focus on tasks that truly require human intelligence.
Error assignment and distribution	Facilitates error review and correction. Each issue detected is prioritized, assigned to the developer who wrote the related code, and distributed to his or her IDE with direct links to the problematic code.
Centralized reporting	Ensures real-time visibility into quality status and processes. This helps managers assess and document trends, as well as determine if additional actions are needed for regulatory compliance.

Key Features
