Summary

IBM Rational PurifyPlus by IBM Rational Software

Runtime analysis for faster, more reliable code. IBM® Rational PurifyPlus™ is a runtime analysis solution designed to help developers write faster, more reliable code. Runtime analysis includes four basic functions: memory corruption detection, memory leak detection, application performance profiling, and code coverage analysis. IBM Rational PurifyPlus packages support for all four of these functions in a single product with a common install and licensing system.

Rational PurifyPlus for Windows is an automated runtime analysis tool for Windows-based application performance. It is a collection of three tools (PureCoverage, Quantify, and Purify) that you can use to perform runtime analysis for code coverage, performance, and memory analysis. This can augment automated testing, improving performance and quality.

PureCoverage is for code coverage analysis: it measures how much of the product code was exercised in a test suite, and how much remains to be tested

Quantify is for performance analysis: it helps find performance bottlenecks in applications

Purify is for memory analysis: it is useful in finding memory leaks and incorrect use of memory in the application, which may be resulting in crashes

Automated runtime analysis tools to improve Windows-based application reliability and performance. Designed for Java, Visual C/C++, C#, VB.NET, and Visual Basic applications.

Features & Benefits

FeatureDescriptionBenefit

Memory corruption and leak detectionAutomatically pinpoints hard-to-find bugsImproved execution reliability

Application performance profilingHighlights application performance bottlenecksIdentifies portions of code subject to performance optimization

Code coverage analysisIdentifies untested codeAvoid users being the first to exercise functionality

Unique instrumentation techniquesInstruments code at the byte or object levelNo recompilation or re-linking is needed to analyze your code

Server-side Java supportInstall PurifyPlus on your Web server to analyze Java Server Pages (JSP) and Java servletsImprove reliability and performance of server code as well as client applications

Runs directly inside leading IDEs, as well as stand-alonePurifyPlus installs and operates directly within WebSphere Studio, Eclipse, Visual Studio .NET, and Visual Studio 6No switching back and forth between different tools with different user interfaces

Provides for a more cohesive, more productive development experience

Test and analyze your code as it is being created

Extends your development experience with these IDEs to include runtime analysis

Stand-alone operation offers flexibility in how to perform runtime analysis

Comprehensive programming language supportSupports Microsoft's managed languages (VB.NET and C#) as well as the unmanaged languages (Visual C/C++ and VB)PurifyPlus provides the only runtime analysis tool you need for all of your Windows-based application development

Selective instrumentationAllows you to select which modules of an application to analyzeTest only the modules you want without having to instrument the whole application

Choose only the components for which you are responsible

Provides greater flexibility for creating the test environment

Makes the data collection part of runtime analysis much easier
