Solidware Wants to Raise ‘Code Intelligence’ - Software Development Times On The Web

Solidware Wants to Raise ‘Code Intelligence’
SWaudit 2.0 correlates test data, displaying results on dashboards
By David Worthington

October 15, 2007 — BOSTON — Where would marketing executives and operations managers be without business intelligence? Quite possibly, where software programming managers are today—without quantitative, at-a-glance project information.

But Solidware Technologies believes it has the solution that will allow managers and teams to truly “know their code.”

At the Embedded Systems Conference here on Sept. 19, Solidware released SWaudit 2.0, an update to its software auditing platform for Java that correlates data from coverage tools, static analysis and uses key metrics to look for failure modes, or interactions of failure modes.

“We layer intelligence over tools,” explained Solidware CEO Sue Kunz. “The concept is not to just throw people at the problem, [but instead to] use CPU cycles.” According to Kunz, “there is a lot of heavy analysis people will not do.”

Kunz defined code intelligence as key to understanding software readiness: whether code is of unknown quality or in development. Version 2.0 of SWaudit introduces dependency mapping, architectural integrity analysis and other analytics, including configurable static analysis and risk-to-test coverage correlation.

Results are displayed as high-level dashboards and summaries that identify failure-prone code. However, more detailed information that is geared toward developers and white-box testers is also generated.
