What's new in DevPartner for Visual C++ BoundsChecker Suite V10?

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Support - V10 provides full Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 support. This includes full support the analysis of applications developed using Microsoft Visual Studio, and full integration into the Visual Studio IDE. Analyze, detect errors and perform static code reviews in new Visual Studio 2010 project types.
• Microsoft Team Foundation Server 10.0 Work Item Submission - Now supports submission of additional Work Item types to Microsoft Team Foundation Server 10.0. It automatically populates Work Item forms with selected session data for the issue work item type, as well as bug and defect work item types. Work Items can be submitted through both Visual Studio 2010 and 2008 when used with Microsoft Team Foundation Server 10.0 and the active Team System project supports the Work Item type.
• Support for MSBuild - Now supports MSBuild to build any DevPartner project in Visual Studio 2010. MSBuild starts automatically whenever building a solution from the build menu.
• .NET 4.0 / Common Language Runtime (CLR) 4.0 Support - Lets you test and analyze any applications that use CLR 4.0, the common language runtime for .NET 4.0. CLR 4.0 support includes all DevPartner supported project types in Visual Studio 2010.

What's new in DevPartner for Visual C++ BoundsChecker Suite V9.1?

• Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Internet Explorer 8 Support - DevPartner 9.1.0 runs on both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. All existing DevPartner product capabilities from installation, operation, documentation, and integration with Visual Studio and other systems remain intact with these Windows operating systems. DevPartner also supports Internet Explorer 8 under these operating systems with limitations. See the item "Web Script Coverage and Performance Yield Incomplete Results on Internet Explorer 8.0" in the DevPartner 9.1.0 Known Issues for more information.
• Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5 Support - DevPartner 9.1.0 provides full analysis capability for ASP.NET applications and services hosted on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5. Full DevPartner Support for IIS is across all supported DevPartner operating system platforms, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
• Experimental Support for Micro Focus Studio Enterprise Edition (EE) COBOL for .NET Projects - DevPartner now allows you to analyze Micro Focus Studio EE COBOL for .NET project types. This includes memory analysis, performance analysis, coverage analysis for managed COBOL for .NET projects. In-depth performance for COBOL for .NET projects can be done where standard disk I/O, network and other Microsoft standard .NET calls are used. Micro Focus Studio Enterprise Edition must be installed on the same computer as Visual Studio to enable the Micro Focus Studio EE COBOL for .NET project type for analysis. Support is limited to experimental usage in this release, and no Code Review or native COBOL support is provided. DevPartner customers who wish to provide feedback on this capability should identify themselves through the Micro Focus SupportLine Customer Care web site.
• Compile, Instrument Unmanaged Code, Set Environments, and Build from the Command Line - With DevPartner 9.1.0, a single command lets you compile, instrument unmanaged code in a project or solution, and build the project or solution from the command line. The NMDEVENV command combines the code instrumentation and compile capability of the DevPartner NMCL command with build capability of the Visual Studio DEVENV command. NMDEVENV replaces the Visual Studio DEVENV command and gives you the flexibility to instrument, compile, and build solutions in batch processing and from the command line without multiple commands. NMDEVENV uses Visual Studio instrumentation options set for the project or solution being instrumented and built, ending the need to enter instrumentation options in command syntax.

What's new in DevPartner for Visual C++ BoundsChecker Suite V9.0?

• Visual Studio 2008 Support - V9.0 provides full Microsoft Visual Studio support. This includes full support the analysis of applications developed using Microsoft Visual Studio, and full integration into the Visual Studio 2008 IDE.

• Analyzing Mixed Code Solutions - You can now collect data for unmanaged code portions when profiling a Visual C++ mixed-code solution.

DevPartner for Visual C++ BoundsChecker Suite has new and essential features such as:

• Detection of memory leaks and other memory-related problems using BoundsChecker technology
• Code performance and code coverage analysis
• Ability to display code call graphs
• Ability to compare two performance profiling runs for differences
• Thread deadlock detection

Speed development of Visual C++ components and applications for the enterprise and the Internet

Automatic error detection with BoundsChecker technology helps developers pinpoint static, stack and heap errors memory/resource leaks; and ensures correct usage of the latest Windows APIs including ActiveX, Win32, Internet, OLE/COM and ODBC. Errors are reported by an easy-to-use interface.

Performance analysis aids Visual C++ developers in increasing the speed and usability of their software by providing the most detailed and accurate performance data possible. With the optional DevPartner Studio Server license, performance data can be collected across the distributed environment, supplying true, end-to-end performance profiling.

Code coverage aids developers in building reliable code by automatically tracking and measuring application execution. DevPartner for Visual C++ BoundsChecker Suite collects coverage information each time your application is run and merges it with information from previous sessions. With the optional DevPartner Studio Server license, code coverage is collected across distributed machines.

DevPartner for Visual C++ BoundsChecker suite is a powerful set of software development and testing tools that enable Windows C/C++ application teams to build reliable, high-performance applications and components for native Windows platforms.
