Open Source C QA Automation Software

ebizzy is designed to generate a workload resembling common web application server workloads. It is highly threaded, has a large in-memory working set, and allocates and deallocates memory frequently.

Cinemagoer is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb movie database about movies, people, characters and companies. Platform-independent, it can retrieve data from both the IMDb's web server and a local copy of the whole db.

Flawfinder is a program that examines C source code and reports possible security weaknesses (``flaws'') sorted by risk level. It's very useful for quickly finding and removing some security problems before a program is widely released.

CCCC is a tool which analyzes C++ and Java files and generates a report on various metrics of the code. Metrics supported include lines of code, McCabe's complexity and metrics proposed by Chidamber&Kemerer and Henry&Kafura.

Open System Testing Architecture - a distributed software testing architecture designed around CORBA. The current toolset has the capability of performing scripted Web (HTTP and HTTPS) heavy load tests with performance measurements from Win32 platforms.

netstress is a client/server utility designed to stress & benchmark network activity of a given ethernet device or path using simulated (random) real world data and packet sizes instead of fixed data and packet sizes.

This framework supports a wide variety of model-based GUI testing techniques. The innovation lies in the architecture of GUITAR, which uses plug-ins to support flexibility and extensibility. Software developers and quality assurance engineers may use this architecture to create new toolchains, new workflows based on the toolchains, and plug in a variety of measurement tools to conduct GUI testing. More detail is presented in this publication: GUITAR: An Innovative Tool for Automated Testing of GUI-driven Software. Bao N. Nguyen, Bryan Robbins, Ishan Banerjee, and Atif Memon. Automated Software Engineering Journal. p.21, 1. 2014

ggcov is a GTK+ GUI for exploring test coverage data produced by C programs compiled with gcc --coverage. It's basically a GUI replacement for the gcov program that comes with gcc.

AceUnit (Advanced C and Embedded Unit): a comfortable C code unit test framework. AceUnit is JUnit 4.x style, easy, modular and flexible. AceUnit can be used in resource constraint environments, e.g. embedded software development.

This profiler (JRE 1.5.0 only) uses JVMTI and native bytecode instrumentation for the analysis of the heap, reachable objects, execution time, garbage collection efficiency, code coverage and thread contention. No preparation steps required in build.

X11::GUITest is the original Perl GUI automation toolkit for X11. This project is now maintained as a legacy project. Its successor is pyguitest, a Python-based GUI automation framework that continues the goals and functionality of X11::GUITest while extending support to modern Linux desktop environments, including X11, XWayland, and Wayland. For new projects, please use pyguitest. Successor project: https://github.com/ctrondlp/pyguitest (Please star the project if you can, anything helps!) X11::GUITest remains available for existing Perl applications, historical reference, and users who require its original X11-based functionality.

PEP is a modelling and verification framework for parallel systems, providing a large number of different modelling languages and verification techniques (e.g. SDL, Petri nets and model checking)

A GUI comparison tool that automates diffs detection between versions. You can record and play scenarios on two different releases of the same app (in sequential or parallel mode); jDiffChaser compares both screens and shows you the differences.

Calculates cyclomatic and the NPATH complexity measures. It reads the coverage information produced by GCC and determines the complexity of all functions.

ansvif, or A Not So Very Intelligent Fuzzer, suited to find bugs in code by throwing garbage arguments, files, and environment variables at the target program, that you may or may not have the source code to. It supports many features, such as buffer size, randomization of the buffer size, random data injection, templates, and much more. The purpose of this project is to identify bugs in software, specifically bugs that can induce a segmentation fault under various conditions. This aids security researchers in writing buffer overflows, input validation vulnerabilities, as well as helping one audit code for general logic mistakes.

This project has been renamed "pycopia", and extended. This is no longer maintained. Pycopia is hosted at Google code hosting. Please go to: http://code.google.com/p/pycopia/

Utility to dump undecorated C++ symbols from C/C++ libraries in a sorted fashion. Useful for testing new library versions for backwards ABI compatibility, among other things. Requires a valid install of VS.Net 2003 or VS 2005, and the .NET 2.0 framework.

A Perl-based benchmarking and load testing suite, with backend written in C. Based on apachebench, but extended with much more functionality. Currently released on CPAN as HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench.

Automatic correction of software bugs announced in compilers (clang, gcc) / Static Code Analysis tools (cppcheck, FindBugs) and grammar/style errors like in LanguageTool. Usage: use tool (e.g. cppcheck) and store results in a text file. Afterwards call: autoreplacerplus mytextfile

Parsing, interpreting, checking and profiling C application (ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E))

CQSAT is a powerful, comprehensive and extensible framework for static analysis of program source code and detection of software defects.

CUMock or CMock is a mock framework for interaction based unit testing, inspired by JMock. Good for Test Driven Development (TDD) in the C language. Extends CUnit or any other framework with adapters. Self describing.

Automation of Unit and System Tests. Tests can be implemented in any language and on many platforms. The flexible approach enables the inclusion of many types of tests, such as memory leak checks (using valgrind), coding rule checks, complexity checks, etc. Tests are run by a simple call to hwut in a base directory of a project. In particular for C, HWUT supports make file generation using 'sos' and 'sols' modes. Remote control-able function stubs may be generated using the 'stub' mode. Test cases can be generated using the 'gen' mode, and state machine walkers by the 'sm_walker' mode. Over the last decade HWUT has matured towards a full fledged unit test tool for a wide variety of applications.

Code Distance Visualizer is a static program analyzer. It learns patterns in user defined faulty and correct code instances and using visualization indicates which fragments in a program’s source code are the most similar to these instances.

Columbo reads source code in different languages like COBOL, JCL, CMD and transposes it to graphical views, measures and semantically equivalent texts based on xml. It also investigates into technical bugs.
