Version 2.0 has various major enhancements including support for
Enterprise Java Bean compliance, the ability to analyze incomplete
Java source bases and a greatly simplified installation procedure.
The ability to analyze incomplete source bases is a particulary
powerful feature as it means that analysis can take place at the
subproject level providing support across very large projects. When
the analyzer hits files missing declaration information that cannot be
resolved due to missing files/classes, it determines which rules can
still be applied despite the missing information and applies those
only. In practice this means that up to 80% of the rules can still be
applied despite incomplete source trees.
QStudio for Java Enterprise is the enterprise strength team-based
solution that allows software developers and software process managers
(project managers and QA managers) to automate and coordinate software
quality control and multiple coding standards across multiple
projects. QStudio for Java Enterprise provides (in addition to all
single user Pro functionality):
- Enterprise-level and role based control and reporting on quality
metrics (ISO 9126 conforming)
- Compliance analysis of the source code to quality standards using an
explicit quality model
- Conformance to selectable departmental and project related coding
standards
- Trend analysis based on formal milestone creation showing the
quality evolution
- Aggregated code quality observations across a software project with
drill down capabilities

QStudio for Java is a sophisticated code quality assessment and coding
standards tool for Java development detecting potential software
defects at compile time. It offers the ability to significantly reduce
code review effort by automating a major portion of the code
inspection and coding standards process.
QStudio for Java default supports over 200 rules some of which can be
used to instantiate new customized rules. QStudio also allows users to
add their own rules (and the rules developed by the PMD community)
using open-source PMD specification capabilities. In practice
therefore, the number of rules supportable is unlimited.
QStudio for Java Enterprise can integrate seamlessly with leading Java
IDE's including JDeveloper, Eclipse, WebSphere Studio, JBuilder and
VisualAge for Java (IntelliJ in October 2003)and runs on Windows,
Solaris and Linux.
The combination of world class code analysis capabilities with over
200 rules, a unique and powerful built-in ISO standard software
quality model allowing code quality to be expressed in quantifiable
high level quality concepts, the broadest IDE coverage in the industry
and a seamless upgrade to Enterprise capabilities all provided at no
cost to the Java development community allows QA Systems to continue
to establish its market leadship in the automated software inspection
space.
The single user QStudio for Java Pro is available free of charge to
the entire Java development community. Developers may use the Pro
freely within or without their corporation. A corporation is free to
deploy the Pro at no cost.
