Codign Software Releases CoView 2.0
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE …
Baltimore, MD – June 15, 2006 – Codign Software Releases CoView 2.0, an Eclipse plug-in that automatically creates JUnit tests and measures coverage.
BALTIMORE - Codign Software today announced the general availability of CoView 2.0, an Eclipse plug-in that lets software managers and developers gain confidence in their unit testing efforts. CoView automatically creates JUnit tests for developers and reports relevant path and branch coverage results to managers. Major enhancements include a new user interface, a new test manager, an advanced JUnit editor, and the ability to measure path and branch coverage.
"All the developers and architects we met this past year at EclipseCON and JavaOne understand the need for unit testing, yet the majority simply don’t have the time or experience to implement an objective, sustainable program," says John Miller, CTO and co-founder of Codign Software. "Much time is wasted by not following a unit testing methodology that adheres to industry best practices. We designed CoView from the ground up to be a product that focuses on four important concepts – identifying the minimal number of unit tests needed to exercise logical flow, creating them with the use of frameworks like JUnit, managing the process and reporting the data."
“There is no easy button when it comes to automating unit tests,” says Miller, “but there are a number of techniques that can reduce the developers’ time spent on unit testing and generate better results. Managers are happy because they have an objective approach to unit testing, and developers are happier because they can spend more time in design and development.”
CoView creates unit tests that execute code logic and error conditions and allow developers to create easily and quickly as many “what-if” scenarios as desired.
CoView currently supports Eclipse 3.1 and Java 1.4.x and Java 1.5. Official Eclipse 3.2 support is expected within 30 to 60 days. Pricing starts at $249 per copy with volume discounts available.
