The CodeNarc project provides a static analysis tool and framework for analyzing Groovy source code.

CodeNarc scans Groovy source code, looking for violations of predefined or custom rules and generates an HTML or XML report of the results. These rules include checks for coding standards, or searching for unused code, possible bugs or bad coding practices.

Marwein is a test tool for html pages.

It offers a graphical interface to create an run test cases, as well as a “batch mode” for running tests via a shell script. Marwein is based on the Httpunit library.

Each test case consists of several “tasks” that are executed one after the other. Each task represents either a user interaction with the web page (e.g. ClickButton, FollowLink, FillForm) or some kind of test (e.g. RegexpMatcher, PageCheker).

Description:

Defect Tracker is a web-based development solution.  It tracks and organizes defect reports throughout the development cycles.  Its flexible customization enables you to adapt to your engineering changes.

Features Overview

* Engineer’s inbox (shows all defects assigned to you)
* Performing searches
* Creating public and personal reports
* Creating simple and easy to use charting in seconds
* Saving your personal and public charts
* Subscribing to defect updates by email notification
* Viewing defect change history
* Time-based escalation of defect priority
* Automatic defect assignment routing
* User management by role
* Finding out all logged on users in the system

Easy Customization Interface

You can customize the Defect Tracker without writing code.  Just use point and click, you can add, remove and modify any attribute of an object to meet your development specifications.

Database Requirement

Defect Tracker 1000 does not require a database and yet with full functional features.  If you choose to use a database later, you can simply migrate to Defect Tracker 2000.  By using the one-click data migration utility, you can migrate all your previous data into your new database.

Install and Run

All in one installation, there is nothing else to install.  You can use the Defect Tracker right away after you installed it.  There is no complicated setup and configuration.  Clients can be connected to server using a browser.  No client installation is required. Client is fully HTML based, therefore no plugins to download.

System Requirements

* HTML client runs on lastest Firefox and Internet Explorer.
* New Fire Server runs on major Java 2 platforms (currently certified on Windows and Linux, also known to run on other major platforms with java support).
* Series 1000 does not require database. Series 2000 supports the following major databases: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, IBM DB2, MySQL and Informix, PostgreSQL.
* Server memory: 64 MB (Series 1000), 128 MB (Series 2000)
* Diskspace: > 100 MB
* i386 compatable processor speed for server: 500 MHz or above

HATE is a test harness, a program that is intended to take the tedium out of testing and evaluating programs.

Some effort has been taken to ensure that HATE is totally independent of both the program being tested and the series of tests to be applied to the test program.  The intention is to provide a single tool that may be used for both testing and evaluation; to encourage well-designed objective testing; and, by allowing researchers to apply the same sets of tests to their own programs, to make it easy for researchers to compare techniques on an informed basis.

The major features of HATE are:

HATE is written in a high-level scripting language and may be used unchanged on any platform that the language supports.  This includes all flavours of Unix; Linux; Windows NT, 95, 3. n ; and the Macintosh.

Test scripts may be used unchanged on all platforms.

Test scripts are independent of the software being tested or evaluated.

Programs are interfaced to HATE by means of a short interface procedure ; thereafter, all relevant existing test scripts may be used with them.

The decomposition into test script and interface procedure, and the portablity of HATE, encourage the sharing of scripts between developers or researchers.

HATE is able to generate its output in a range of forms, including HTML and LaTeX tables.

HATE was developed principally to aid the evaluation of computer vision algorithms . There is increasing realization within the vision research community that this type of work is essential in converting computer vision from a “black art“, with algorithms being tested on only a few images, to sound engineering practice. It is hoped that the vision community will develop test scripts that allow comprehensive comparisons of existing algorithms to be performed, and that new algorithms are subsequently compared with the existing body of results.

Lightweight Test Automation Framework is an integration testing tool, which works by scripting the web browser to perform a sequence of actions against your application’s UI – entering text and clicking links and buttons exactly as a real user would – and then checking that the expected results can be seen in the browser window.

Just in case you don’t know the difference between unit testing and integration testing:

Unit tests work against the API of a particular component in your code.  Ideally, they test only that single isolated unit (hence the name), which allows them to pinpoint any problems exactly where they occur.  Unit testing tools for .NET include NUnit, mbUnit, and xUnit.

Integrations tests combine multiple components.  Typically, they work at the UI level to test that your JavaScript, your HTML, your controller code, your model code, and your database all work together.  Integration testing tools for .NET include Selenium, Watin, and Lightweight Test Automation Framework.

Size is one of the most important attributes of a software product. It is not only the key indicator of software cost and time but also a base unit to derive other metrics for project status and software quality measurement. Size metric is used as an essential input for most of cost estimation models such as COCOMO, SLIM, SEER-SEM and Price-S.

Although source lines of code or SLOC is a widely accepted sizing metric, there is a lack of standard that enforces a consistency of what and how to count SLOC. Ensuring consistency across independent organizations in the rules used to count software cost code is often difficult to achieve. To that end, the USC Center for Systems and Software Engineering (CSSE) has developed and released a code counting toolset called CodeCount to support sizing software code for historical data collection and reporting purposes. This toolset is a collection of tools designed to automate the collection of source code sizing information. It implements the popular code counting standards published by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) and adapted by COCOMO. Logical and physical SLOC are among the metrics generated by the toolset.

Htmlgoodies.com has featured a great article on Browser Tools.

Titled ‘Tools for Cross Browser Compatibility: Live Testing‘ the article highlights a number of tools that can be used for Browser Testing

Cross browser testing, through which you compare a website’s look and performance among different browser versions and platforms, is an important and often frustrating task. Moreover, such testing helps you to determine whether your website code (HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, etc.) is backwards compatible.
