Ann: Insider - new Nexus Quality Suite tool

We are happy to announce Insider, the latest addition to our Nexus
Quality Suite performance and verification tools suite.

New - Insider!
==============

The Insider tool is a binary code analyzer. It disassembles and analyzes all the code in your module and displays statistical information about the code in tabular form. The information extracted for each routine includes the size of the code, the amount of constant data in the routine, the amount of local data allocated by the routine, and the number of instructions in the routine.

Insider also identifies various code patterns to aid in identifying routines that may be candidates for optimization or other types of refactoring. In addition, Quality Suite Insider creates static cross-references for the code.


The best part: The entire Quality Suite is still only AUD 300. Take
advantage of the offer today and save!


TestDriver
==========

The TestDriver tool is a testing robot targeted toward graphical
Windows applications. TestDriver records mouse and keyboard actions to
produce an editable script and allows capturing certain aspects of the
program under test. This is a very powerful tool for testing graphical
applications as the scripts can be modified to use typical programming
constructs such as loops, conditions, function calls, assignment,
parameters and verification. Scripts can be created in Basic, C or
Pascal language style.


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.


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.

  1. Why only for 32 bit windows executables?

  2. Krasimir Ivanov Because disassembling 64bit is a different story from 32bit I guess (TurboPower Sleuth QA dates back to Delphi 7 and earlier days).

  3. Krasimir Ivanov , if you read the announcement (sorry, the whole lot is a bit long...) then toward the end, it says:

    Coming Soon!
    - Support for win64 executables

    The reason is as Stefan says; we are adding features as fast as we can and 64 bit support will be worked on soon.
