Quality Control

Testing Platforms Windows

– Visual Studio 6.0– Visual Studio 7.1

Linux– gcc 3.2– gcc 3.3– gcc 3.4

Cygwin – Windows– gcc 3.4– gcc 3.3

Testing

Goal – 100 % Code Coverage– 100 % State Machine Transitions Testing

Current Code Coverage– IGSTK 93.6 % ( untested 321 / 4714 lines )– Sandbox 92.4 % ( untested 4 / 49 lines )

Dynamic Testing Platforms

Valgrind on Linux– gcc 3.3– gcc 3.4

Valgrind on Cygwin ( setup pending ) Purify (too expensive)
