DevPartner Fault Simulator 2.0 Available

Compuware released DevPartner Fault Simulator 2.0. DevPartnerFault Simulator is a testing tool that enables developers to locate softwaredefects in the error-handling code by simulating errors and monitoring the responsein .NET applications. DevPartner Fault Simulator allows the developer tosimulate both .NET Framework Class Library (FCL) faults and environmentalfaults in a safe, controlled environment. As soon as the error is detected and understood,the developer can fix the error, rebuild the application using Visual Studio.NET 2003 or Visual Studio 2005, and re-analyze the application usingDevPartner Fault Simulator to validate that the error has been fixed. Inaddition, developers can create fault sets for use in regression testing and QAengineers can provide fault sets to developers for debugging problems that ariseduring testing. This new version strengthens its developer capabilities andadds new features for QA Analysts, further bridging the gap between developmentand test teams.

 DevPartner FaultSimulator can now be used independently of the Visual Studio developmentenvironment. This allows the QA tester to execute local and global fault setscreated by developers, create and execute environmental exceptions, and reportdefects back to development via the Visual Studio Team System work itemtracking system.

 Developers can nowvisually see where error handlers are needed in the application source code.Visible in the source window, DevPartner Fault Simulator 2.0 can now inform theuser what exceptions can be thrown from any method call and automatically addthe appropriate try..catch block template code tohandle these exceptions.

 In addition, developersand QA engineers can now create and submit directly into the Team SystemFoundation Server defect-tracking tool error-handling code defect and callstack information found using DevPartner Fault Simulator 2.0. Also, users caninsert defect data directly from DevPartner Fault Simulator 2.0 into TeamSystem Foundation Server without the need for re-typing detailed information.

 DevPartner FaultSimulator 2.0 has expanded support for .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 methods.DevPartner Fault Simulator 2.0 now also supports third-party managedassemblies, user-written managed code, and e-commerce applications.
