Ann: Nexus Quality Suite - More Tools!
Ann: Nexus Quality Suite - More Tools!
Having been hard at work bringing these great tools back from the brink of extinction, we are happy to announce two more tools have been added to Nexus Quality Suite.
The best part: The Quality Suite is still only AUD 300. Take advantage of the weakened aussie dollar today and save*!
New - MethodTimer!
==================
The MethodTimer tool is a method level performance analyzer. It measures and reports activity in your code with the purpose of identifying performance bottlenecks. It records routine calls and reports time spent in each routine. It also shows you a list of routines that are called from a particular routine and how much was spent in a routine on behalf of a calling routine. In addition, MethodTimer contains a disassembler that reports the clock counts and pairing issues that affect the efficiency of your code.
The MethodTimer works in conjunction with the LineTimer; use the MethodTimer to locate slow routines, then switch to the LineTimer to optimize those routines.
New - CoverageAnalyst!
======================
The CoverageAnalyst tool works with your unit tests, and helps you visually identify the portions of your code that are not fully exercised. With Quality Suite CoverageAnalyst you can build better, more effective test cases.
The most important use of a coverage analyzer is to ensure that all parts of a module (application, DLL, COM object, etc.) have been executed during testing. Far too many programs are released with bugs that escape detection during the quality assurance phase simply because the offending code is never executed. Qality Suite CoverageAnalyst helps to ensure that all parts of the program have been executed.
LineTimer
=========
The LineTimer tool is an execution time profiler that lets you fine
tune your application and even drill down to individual lines in your
program. With the LineTimer you can see actual times spent on any (or
all) lines of code in your project. Now you can pinpoint exactly which
lines cost you the most execution time!
All tools works with 32 bit windows executables that are created in Delphi versions from Delphi 5 and up, or BCB/C++Builder versions from BCB 5 and up.
More info: http://www.nexusdb.com/support/index.php?q=qualitysuite
Trial download: http://www.nexusdb.com/support/index.php?q=nqstrial
The normal price will be AUD 450**. During the introductory period, you can purchase a license for only AUD 300.
The Nexus Quality Suite is licensed per developer. The price includes
minor and major updates for one year.
Future Roadmap
There are more tools and expanded platform support in the pipeline. Presented below in no particular order, here are some of the things on our todo list for Quality Suite:
- Coming Soon! Printable/ePub manual
- "CodeWatch" - Find memory leaks, perform stress tests, check for API usage errors, verify platform compliance, and more
- "TestExec" - a GUI based interface
- "Insider" - The new binary metrics analyst gives you the best look inside exactly how your program works
- Support for win64 executables
- Remote profiling
- Support for .Net executables
*For fellow aussies, please let pride of local products replace the glee of the favourable exchange rate.
**Those of our customers who have an active subscription to The Full
Monty Pack have already received download emails for the product, as
this subscription includes all our product in one great bundle.

"The brink of extinction" - what happened?
ReplyDeleteThe previous version of these tools used to be called Sleuth QA, and were sold by TurboPower, who stopped being a Delphi 3rd party provider in 2003. I plan to write a blog post on the revival; the short story is that they were just too good to let die, although the resurrection was long in coming. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I hadn't realised you acquired them. Please post the blog post here when you write it, I'll be interested to hear about it all.
ReplyDeleteNo, we didn't aquire them; I've been waiting this long for the former TurboPower employee who actually owned the IP in the tools, to get bored with his previous job. We recently hired him; his name is Per Larsen and you'll be seeing more of us, I'm sure. :)
ReplyDeletethis has been a long time coming. Sleuth QA was an excellent product.
