This blog series features the top-performing projects on SourceForge under specific categories. This week, we feature the top 4 Quality Assurance Software of the Week available on SourceForge.
Quality assurance is an essential part of every software development project. By upholding set standards it ensures the smooth delivery of software, keeps conflicts at bay and secures the integrity, stability and efficiency of software.
Here are the top 4 Quality Assurance Software available here at SourceForge, based on weekly downloads:
The Eclipse Checkstyle plug-in integrates the Checkstyle Java code auditor into the Eclipse IDE. It provides real-time feedback to the user about violations of rules that check for coding style and possible error prone code constructs. With Checkstyle Eclipse Plugin your code is constantly inspected for coding standard deviations and you are immediately notified of problems via the Eclipse Problems View and source code annotations similar to compiler errors or warnings.

TestLink is a web based Test Management tool that provides Test specification, Test plans and execution, Reporting, Requirements specification and collaboration with well-known bug trackers. With its requirements management feature you can define your requirements and never lose track of the changes because of the requirement versioning- and revisioning system. It also features Centralized User- and Role-Management and is highly-customizable because of user-definable Custom Fields.
A Notepad++ plugin that allows users to run JSLint (The JavaScript Code Quality Tool) against their open JavaScript files.

Static source code analysis tool for C and C++ code. It checks for memory leaks, mismatching allocation-deallocation, buffer overrun, and many more. Unlike C/C++ compilers and many other analysis tools it does not detect syntax errors in the code. Cppcheck primarily detects the types of bugs that the compilers normally do not detect, with the goal of 0% false positives.
