Parasoft Testimonials

"One of our safety-critical products was experiencing a highly intermittent bug that manifested itself under only a very specific combination of inputs. Once it hit the condition, it would overflow the stack and halt the processor. Thanks to our recovery mechanism, the system would resume normal operation about 50ms after halting. Our only clue that that something was wrong was that the system would return to the initial state briefly before resuming work. Over the course of several months, we tried several methods to identify the issue. Finally, we came across the stack overrun and its cause: the recursive call loop. Once we root-caused it, the fix was a one-line change which took less than five minutes. I won’t detail the exact amount of engineering time we put into addressing this problem, but by my calculations, we spent thousands of dollars' worth of effort to find the source of the problem. If we’d had Parasoft during this time, we would have identified the issue quickly and easily without the need for a long root-cause process."

“The power of that modern software practice is critical.”
