“Okay product but need more tailoring to function as we wish”

2.0
Feb 25, 2019
Okay product but lack of supports. We have adopted the tool for a while to serve the internal's needs. However, when it comes to problems, they were rarely resolved at the same time. We spent a lot of time in the level 1 support, who didn't know a lot. We had to wait until it reached to level 2 support for some substantial supports. It didn't end there. Most of the problems we reported, they ended up with feature requests rather than quick fixes, since they were all considered something new and/or we have been told that we haven't not used the tool as intended.

Parasoft C/C++test Likes & Dislikes

Like

I would like most about this Parasoft C/C Works good for static / unit test coverage Analysis of a project in c/c Language. I am using Line coverage and Decision Coverage. It has a set of predefined rules, and we can choose to modify it as per the user requirements and needs.

Like

Okay product for static analysis and unit test.

Like

visualizationtools , ease of license management, developed containers for analysis

Dislike

I find the coverage part, especially when dealing with dynamic changes or stub implementation, quite complex to achieve satisfactory coverage in our software. Automating these aspects, like creating stubs, can be challenging for setting up unit test case executions for our target.

Dislike

Lack of support as mentioned above when it comes to something we really need.

Dislike

user permission strategy/controls can be confusing
