A 2 part question: Are flow-charts, as tool to analyze source-code, no longer considered useful? The reason I ask this question is that if you Google for source-code to flowchart tools for Visual Studio, there are no relevant results. Also, Microsoft does not seem to have a tool for this purpose. Are people just not using flowcharts th...

Are there any open source (or not) alternatives to the WCFTestClient? The WCFTestClient has a lot of limitations that make it hard to work with (for example it does not support Entity Framework objects). So I am looking to see if there is anything else out there that may be better (or even different). ...

I recently had a position at a small web development shop in the US where virtually all software used on a daily basis was cracked. My own IDE was paid for, and I used open source software personally while there, but I was still required to use MS Office and various Adobe products. For a myriad of reasons, I found a new job, but I'm cu...
While Windows releases of MySQL administration and profiling tools seem to be a dime a dozen, I'm having a very hard time finding very many designed for Linux. Note that I'm not looking for monitoring software ala Nagios/Munin here. This would be something more along the lines of a SQLYog. While I could write some basic scripts to han...
The organization that I currently work for seems to be heading in the direction of dictating to software developers which tools, languages, frameworks, etc. must be used. However, nobody has convinced me that this is a good thing. The main argument I have heard is that it will make training easier. But, after developing software for over...

Has anyone done any comparisons on static code analysis tools available to Linux? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the following tools: Lintian, Sparse, Splint, RATS, Using the -Wall option. Would you consider that using just one of these tools is adequate? I'm not looking for recommendations (I can find plenty of those) b...
In an era of smart phones becoming increasingly powerful each month, often having 300+ MHZ processors, 64+ MB of RAM and true multimedia and multi-tasking capabilities, it is also getting obvious that mobile phones can now also be used as mobile computers, sometimes even for development purposes by developers, when they may either have n...
We have a Java project which contains a large number of English-language strings for user prompts, error messages and so forth. We want to extract all the translatable strings into a properties file so that they can be translated later. For example, we would want to replace: Foo.java String msg = "Hello, " + name + "! Today is " + day...

Our SW Engineering department suggests we use the tool Imagix 4D to analyze our preemptive C code in order to detect data consistency risks. By data consistency risk we mean cases where one task/thread/ISR accesses data that another thread was in the process of accessing. By looking at the website of the tool, it looks promising. Howeve...
The company I work at is going to buy some software tools for me to use, but I do have a budget to work with. I have some unit tests written for NUnit, and am looking at getting TestDriven.NET, NCover, or perhaps both. I'm using Visual Studio 2008. My questions are: Is there a good reason to get both of them? If you had to choose o...

I was wondering if anyone has experience in metrics used to measure software quality. I know there are code complexity metrics but I'm wondering if there is a specific way to measure how well it actually performs during it's lifetime. I don't mean runtime performance, but rather a measure of the quality. Any suggested tools that would he...
