Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why would I need specialized C++ development tools?
A: C++ is a large and complex language. However, its speed, power, and flexibility is unmatched. There are many tools, libraries, and frameworks now available which enable it to be tailored for specific applications, allowing for greater portability, efficiency, and precision.

Q: Why would I need static analysis tools?
A: Some developers do indeed possess photographic or encyclopedic memory, which enables them to keep track of existing code and learn unfamiliar code very quickly. The rest of us benefit from the use of tools to help us do likewise.

Q: What does your software do?
A: Our software helps people develop and maintain software.

"Industry practice studies have shown that maintainers spend 50% of their time on understanding [existing] code." - T. A. Standish, "An Essay on Software Reuse" IEEE Trans. on Software Engineering, 10 (5), 1984, pp. 494 - 497.

"Maintenance typically consumes about 40 to 80 percent (60 percent average) of software costs. Therefore, it is probably the most important life cycle phase." - R. L. Glass, "Frequently Forgotten Fundamental Facts about Software Engineering" IEEE Software, 18 (3), 2001, pp. 112, 110 - 111.
