Express Logic executives said this lets ThreadX developers create applications for Renesas Technology’s SH-4 high-end CPU core.

Testing company Green Hat has expanded test automation for SOA platforms in its Tester 4.2 product. Green Hat integrated it with the Solstice Integra Suite, which it acquired earlier this year. Users can isolate each interface for comprehensive validation of business processes, the company said. Tester 4.2 tests industry protocols like HTTP, WebSphere MQ and Web services.

TIBCO has added 3D visualizations to version 2.2 of its Spotfire enterprise analytics platform. Spotfire also has features that help businesspeople use interactive data visualization to view business data. TIBCO executives said Spotfire relies very much on colorful displays rather than grid-style analysis and reporting, which can make analytics easier to use.

A new troubleshooting feature called TVScript allows users to perform multiple runs of a single version of a program has been included. Additionally, there is a new Remote Display Client that sets up a graphical debugging session with other users.

Also new in AnthillPro is the ability to generate reviews and reports of a build’s history, locks to control resource management, and the ability use the Mercurial version control system’s repository.

Germany-based anti-malware provider Zynamics has added faster executables and local variable porting to its BinDiff malware analysis product. Another Zynamics product, BinNavi, has been enhanced with a plug-in for Java, Python and Ruby, as well as tagging capabilities for larger projects.
