Monrovia, CA — (press release excerpt) — Parasoft and MontaVista Software today announced that Parasoft Insure++, an automated runtime error-detection tool for C/C++, will support MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition 2.1.

Memory corruption and memory leak errors are extremely difficult to find, often taking weeks, sometimes even months to track down. Parasoft Insure++ detects these elusive, crash-causing errors in C/C++ applications. By using a unique set of technologies, including mutation testing, Insure++ thoroughly examines and tests the code from the inside and out, then reports errors and pinpoints their exact location. Insure++ also performs coverage analysis, clearly indicating which sections of the code were tested.

“The communications market is an important sector for the software development community and for Parasoft,” said Parasoft CEO, Adam Kolawa. “As Linux continues to grow as the operating system of choice for developers in telecommunications and data communications, companies will require the proper tools to build robust, error-free applications.”

MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition (CGE) 2.1 enhances standard Linux with key features for deployment in carrier-grade environments. It is designed specifically for network equipment providers as a standard, modular, communications platform.
