Another key piece of software committed for ITanium Development ! biz.yahoo.com Monday August 6, 8:04 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: ParaSoft Corp. ParaSoft Ports Leading C/C++ Products to HP's Itanium-Based Architecture MONROVIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2001--ParaSoft Corp., leading provider of error-prevention and error-detection software tools, today announced that two of its leading C/C++ tools will port to Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Itanium-based systems. ParaSoft's CodeWizard and Insure++ software development tools on HP's Itanium-based systems lend themselves to the creation of high-performance, mission-critical applications. The availability of high-quality software tools for the high-end server and workstation markets benefits developers of complex programs that require the additional processing capability that Itanium 64-bit processing offers. This also eases the transition process from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture. CodeWizard, an automatic coding standards enforcement tool, and Insure++, an automatic runtime error detection tool, perform software error prevention and detection functions for C/C++ developers. The availability of these two tools helps ensure that software developed within HP's new processing environment is of the highest quality possible. ``We believe in the value that ParaSoft's tools contribute to the development process,'' said Arthur Hicken, ParaSoft's executive vice president. ``Working with HP to bring two of our strongest products to HP's Itanium-based architecture is not only benefiting developers on their current programs, but opening an entire world of possibilities with the increased opportunities for developing on 64-bit processors.'' Earlier this year, ParaSoft announced its plans to support Itanium 64 products with its tools, making this relationship with HP the latest result of those efforts. ``ParaSoft's development tools on the HP's Itanium-based architecture will help make the transition from 32-bit systems that much smoother,'' said Mark Hudson, worldwide marketing manager, HP Business Systems and Technology Organization. ``We look forward to working with ParaSoft to promote these valuable development tools and provide our customers with the high-performance solutions that they need.'' In addition to porting CodeWizard and Insure++ to HP's Itanium-based systems, the two companies plan to co-market the tools for the systems via traditional and online marketing activities. About CodeWizard CodeWizard uses patented Source Code Analysis technology (patent No. 5,860,011) to automatically alert developers of more than 170 coding standard violations in C/C++ programs. These violations represent high-level design flaws or other problems that may hinder code readability, portability, etc. The RuleWizard feature also allows developers and/or managers to graphically customize their own rules to be enforced. About Insure++ Insure++ is an automatic runtime error detection tool for C/C++ that finds the widest variety of programming and memory errors. Using patented Source Code Instrumentation (patent No. 5,581,969), Runtime Pointer Tracking (patent No. 5,842,019) and Mutation Testing technologies, Insure++ locates errors swiftly and precisely and provides needed information to fix the errors instantly. Insure++ features two add-on components: Inuse and Total Coverage Analysis (TCA). Inuse is a graphical utility that monitors how an application allocates memory. TCA reports parts of code that have and have not been tested. About ParaSoft ParaSoft develops and markets advanced error prevention and error detection tools for UNIX, Windows and Internet development environments. ParaSoft's award-winning products and patented technologies assist developers and managers in improving software quality, accelerating time to market and reducing development costs.
