QA Systems has released version 2.0 of its single user QStudio for Java Pro product. QA Systems is providing the single user QStudio for Java Pro free to the Java development community. QStudio for Java Pro 2.0 can be downloaded at no cost from www.qa-systems.com.
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.
Version 2.0 has two major enhancements: support for Enterprise Java Bean compliance and the ability to analyze incomplete Java source bases.
This last feature is 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 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 Pro runs standalone or integrates seamlessly with leading Java IDE's including JDeveloper, Eclipse, WebSphere Studio, JBuilder and VisualAge for Java (IntelliJ, NetBeans, Sun ONE in October 2003)and runs on Windows, Solaris and Linux.
Developers may use the Pro freely within or without their corporation. QStudio for Java Pro can be used at no cost by corporations. If desired support can be purchased. QA Systems is committed to providing this leading edge single user product to the development community at no cost and will ensure that the product is kept up to date in line with the client functionality of the Enterprise version.
The combination of world class analysis capabilities, a unique and powerful built-in ISO standard software quality model, the broadest IDE coverage in the industry and the ability to seamlessly upgrade to Enterprise capabilities all provided at no cost to the Java development community allows QA Systems to consolidate its market leadership in this space.
