Open Source C++ QA Automation Software

Static analysis of C/C++ code. Checks for: memory leaks, mismatching allocation-deallocation, buffer overrun, and many more. The goal is 0% false positives. See http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net for more information.

A Notepad++ plugin that allows users to run JSLint (The JavaScript Code Quality Tool) against their open JavaScript files (more about JSLint at http://www.jslint.com/lint.html). Also supports JSHint (http://www.jshint.com/).

CppUnit is the C++ port of the famous JUnit framework for unit testing. Test output is in XML or text format for automatic testing and GUI based for supervised tests.

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.

Robust, Lightweight, Cross-platform, Template Software. STLSoft is a collection of STL and standard library extensions, and facades over operating-system and 3rd-party APIs.

PerceptualDiff is an image comparison utility that compares two images using a perceptual metric. That is, it uses a computational model of the human visual system to determine if two images are visually different, so minor changes in pixels are ignored.

SLOCCount is an easy-to-use tool that counts Source Lines of Code (SLOC). It auto-determines the language(s) (inc. C, C++, Ada, Assembly, shell, COBOL, C#, Fortran, Haskell, Java, LISP/Scheme, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL). It also estimates cost & time.

qpt (Qt Project Tool) understands Qt C++ projects (.pro) and allows to pass this information to command line tools as "Code Counters" and "Static Analysis tools". It also can used inside QtCreator to act as a plugin for "Static Analysis tools" putting reported issues into QtCreator issues pane.

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.

AutoIt-Recorder is a tool written in C++ on .NET for windows. It aids the AutoIT (seperate project) developer in creating test scripts. These test scripts can be fed into the AutoIT tools to help the automation and testing of windows applications.

Duplicated source code can harm maintainability of software systems. Duplo is a tool to find duplicated code blocks in large C, C++, Java, C# and VB.Net systems.

DuploQ is a GUI frontend for Duplo duplicate finder console tool. Its goal is to find duplicates (i.e. copy-pasted parts of code) across several source files. Locating and eliminating source code duplicates is an important part of the overall refactoring process which leads to decreasing a project's technical dept and increasing stability of the software.

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.

The Compartmented Robust Posix C++ Unit Test system. crpcut is a simple to use unit test system for C++, where each test case is run in its own process and own working directory, to ensure that each test case starts from a clean slate.

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

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)

EDoC++ is both a lint-like tool and a documentation tool that specialises in analysing and documenting the use of exceptions in C++ code.

HTML Validator is an Mozilla extension that adds HTML validation to Firefox and Mozilla. The number of errors of a HTML page is seen on the form of an icon in the status bar when browsing. The details are seen when looking the HTML source of the page.

Little Software Stats is the first free and open source program that allows software developers to keep track of how their software is being used. It is coded in PHP/MySQL which allows it to run on most web servers.

xCover is a C/C++ library that uses low-impact syntactic signalling to detect code coverage in a code base at runtime

Given YACC-like and LEX-like input files, yagg generates a C++ program that generates all strings of a user-specified length. yagg is easy to use, and provides a means of generating test inputs or validating a parser grammar by inspecting the strings.

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.

API Caller is a software for extracting API functions from any executable and can be used to call them. With this tool, quality can easily be checked by calling functions and checking them if they are error-free.

libeasycgi is designed to be an easy to use and ASP-like library for CGI programming. It will provide an interface for CGI programming in an ASP style and tries to go beyond this. Also, it is designed to be easy for automated test on CGI programs.

A framework for abstract access to CM / SCM / SCCM / ALM systems (Bugzilla, ClearCase, Mantis, StarTeam, etc.). The project offers one SDK for Bugzilla, ClearCase, Mantis, StarTeam, etc.
