QA Systems has now released version 2.0 of QStudio for Java Enterprise.
Version 2.0 has various major enhancements including support for Enterprise Java Bean compliance, the ability to analyze incomplete Java source bases and a greatly simplified installation procedure.
The ability to analyze incomplete source bases is a particulary powerful feature as it means that analysis can take place at the subproject level providing support across very large projects. When the analyzer hits files missing declaration information that cannot be resolved due to missing files/classes, it determines which rules can still be applied despite the missing information and applies those only. In practice this means that up to 80% of the rules can still be applied despite incomplete source trees.
QStudio for Java Enterprise is the enterprise strength team-based solution that allows software developers and software process managers (project managers and QA managers) to automate and coordinate software quality control and multiple coding standards across multiple projects. QStudio for Java Enterprise provides (in addition to all single user Pro functionality):
- Enterprise-level and role based control and reporting on quality metrics (ISO 9126 conforming)
- Compliance analysis of the source code to quality standards using an explicit quality model
- Conformance to selectable departmental and project related coding standards
- Trend analysis based on formal milestone creation showing the quality evolution
- Aggregated code quality observations across a software project with drill down capabilities

QStudio for Java is a sophisticated code quality assessment and coding standards tool for Java development detecting potential software defects at compile time. It offers the ability to significantly reduce code review effort by automating a major portion of the code inspection and coding standards process.
QStudio for Java default supports over 200 rules some of which can be used to instantiate new customized rules. QStudio also allows users to add their own rules (and the rules developed by the PMD community) using open-source PMD specification capabilities. In practice therefore, the number of rules supportable is unlimited.
QStudio for Java Enterprise can integrate seamlessly with leading Java IDE's including JDeveloper, Eclipse, WebSphere Studio, JBuilder and VisualAge for Java (IntelliJ in October 2003)and runs on Windows, Solaris and Linux.
The combination of world class code analysis capabilities with over 200 rules, a unique and powerful built-in ISO standard software quality model allowing code quality to be expressed in quantifiable high level quality concepts, the broadest IDE coverage in the industry and a seamless upgrade to Enterprise capabilities all provided at no cost to the Java development community allows QA Systems to continue to establish its market leadship in the automated software inspection space.
The single user QStudio for Java Pro is available free of charge to the entire Java development community. Developers may use the Pro freely within or without their corporation. A corporation is free to deploy the Pro at no cost. Received on Thu Oct 23 2003 - 14:25:47 CEST
