Parasoft Jtest Wins Best Application Test Tool as part of InfoWorld’s Annual Technology of the Year Awards

Parasoft Corporation, the leading provider of automated error prevention solutions for software development, announced today that Jtest, its industry leading automated Java unit testing and code analysis product, has won InfoWorld’s Technology of the Year Award in the category of Best Application Test Tool. InfoWorld announced the winners on January 2, 2006.

"InfoWorld’s Technology of the Year Awards recognize the best, most innovative products in their class, “ said Dough Dineley, executive editor of the InfoWorld Test Center. “Parasoft’s Jtest 7.0 impressed us not only with its amazing scope, but with all you can accomplish without coding.”

In use at thousands of software development organizations worldwide, Jtest provides comprehensive automated test and analysis of java code. Integrated tightly with the software development process, Jtest allows development teams to adopt a “test as you go” strategy that promotes testing code as it is developed so that quality is built into the code from its inception and bugs eliminated before they can infect the rest of the code base.

“For industrial-strength Java application testing, this is the tool to get,” said Rick Grehan, editor of InfoWorld. “ In short, Jtest is becoming a one-stop-shopping Java-testing super center that copes with just about every Java component you might develop, regardless of its run-time requirements. “

About Jtest

First released in 1997, Jtest has delivered a succession of breakthrough technology innovations in automated software test and analysis for Java development. Designed to provide developers the means to test and evaluate the quality of the construction of their code and identify bugs and potentially problematic code as the code is developed, Jtest combines automated unit testing and code analysis into a single comprehensive tool suite that integrates tightly with developer Integrated Development Environments (IDE’s). Through automated scan and analysis Jtest verifies whether code complies with over 500 java coding rules and best practices, providing a Quick Fix option for many; these rules allow quick and easy identification and resolution of poor code construction that impacts application reliability, security and performance. Additionally Jtest automatically unit tests java code, testing code behavior, exposing uncaught exception handling, boundary condition errors and memory leaks, and generating extendable, high coverage test cases that can be quickly turned into libraries of reusable test assets for use in regular regression testing. Jtest works as a part of a comprehensive team-wide Automated Error Prevention solution that allows centralized administration and application of test practices and delivers management dashboards, reports and metrics for real-time analysis that help managers evaluate code compliance, code readiness and team productivity.
