Open Source C Software Testing Tools

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.

KCachegrind visualizes traces generated by profiling, including a tree map and a call graph visualization of the calls happening. It's designed to be fast for very large programs like KDE applications.

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.

ATrace is a tracing tool uses the ptrace interface. ATrace allows tuning and troubleshooting of applications without modification of the source or object code and can be parameterized via config files and logs the addresses of executed instructions.

This project born a few years ago when I encountered a fatal bug on a production environment, unfortunately not replicable on my development machine. I spent many time finding a solution, using also freeware and commercial third-party tools and libraries, but none helped me because the bug crashed the process, and no of the above tools could be able to catch the exception before the process dying. Also, it was not possible to install a development environment onto the production machines, so the only solution was to develop a debugger which didn't need any user/developer interaction. I used many open source resources, then I decided to make the Bug Finder an open source project. It is built over a pluggable architecture to support other languages different from Borland Delphi (the one I used to develop my faulting application and the Bug Finder too). Here is the article http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/602794/Bug-Finder-a-real-Win32-extensible-passive-debugge .

Dynamic Probe Class Library (DPCL) is an object based C++ class library that provides the necessary infrastructure to allow tool developers and sophisticated tool users to build parallel and serial tools through technology called dynamic instrumentation.

Foo Test is a small, fast C-function unit testing project. It is capable of both benchmarking and validating C-functions while writing most of the test code through an easy perl script, and all the developer needed code can be added to a single file.

An Extensible memory leakage detection system which can be turn on/off just including or not a C header

A Python programming environment providing memory sizing, profiling and analysis, and a specification language that can formally specify aspects of Python programs and generate tests and documentation from a common source.

It's a integrated performance analysis tool with GUI, which is integrated with various utilities such as strace, Gcov, Gprof, proc etc which are open released and are for analyzing performance of linux system

JDLabAgent is a dynamic link library which is loaded into the Java Virtual Machine via Java Virtual Machine Debug Interface (JVMDI). The JDLabAgent can be parameterized via config files and logs JVM events (e.g. breakpoints, exceptions).

This is a dynamic slicing tool for Java programs. The tool modifies the Kaffe virtual machine to collect the execution trace, and compress the trace on-the-fly. Please proceed to the tool's website http://jslice.sourceforge.net/ for download.

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.

Tools, information, and practices for creating and operating dependable, complex, distributed, software-intensive systems. * Sense - Measure - Analyze - Respond - Optimize * Keywords: Performance Co-Pilot - PCP - PCPMon - Rjobd

A collection of library code and tools for application execution profiling and performance testing. You can create stopwatches to time select portions of your code. You can measure differences (often to sub-millisecond accuracy) between clocks on different machines. You can log application events in a .csv format for subsequent analysis. You can also generate CPU loading logs in a .csv format.

A multi threading management library

SafeBox is intended to be a next-generation debugger/profiler/analyzer for programs running in user space. It will include arquitecture simulation to allow advanced features like monitoring or restricting API use. Extensible using plug-ins.

A test suite and benchmark for exact Euclidean distance transform algorithms used in Image Processing and computational geometry. It evaluates the exactness and speed of algorithms for a large number of test cases. Results can be visualized in Scilab.

The sandbox libraries (libsandbox & pysandbox) are an open-source suite of software components for C/C++ and Python developers to create automated profiling tools and watchdog programs. The API's are designed for executing and instrumenting simple (single process) tasks, featuring policy-based behavioral auditing, resource quota, and statistics collecting. The sandbox libraries were originally designed and utilized as the core security module of a full-fledged online judge system for ACM/ICPC training. They have since then evolved into a general-purpose tool for binary program testing, profiling, and security restriction. The sandbox libraries are currently maintained by the OpenJudge Alliance (http://openjudge.net/) as a standalone, open-source project to facilitate various assignment grading solutions for IT/CS education. See project page at https://github.com/openjudge/sandbox for details.

Warning: Older projects may have to be compiled with -DDEBUG_NEW_CONFIG_HAVE_DEPRECATED Debug_New offers the possibility of debugging memoryleaks, not only (note the "not only"; that's just one of its functions) in a <report-memory-leaks-on-shutdown> kind of way, but implemented using memory-states. - Cross platform + Cross compiler support (only utilizes the preprocessor and template-voodoo-magic for c++) - Supports C and C++ - Supports gcc and g++ - Supports pthread and any posix platform - Multithreading is supported. - Easy to use and install (just include the header and link the source). - Easily debug memory-leaks. - Easily debug dangling pointers. - Easily debug deallocation method correctness. - Easily debug array index errors (when writing past the end). - Easily profile memory usage and track down memory hawks. - Click-And-Goto-Source support for Visual Studio. - Integrated compatibility for new, new[], delete, delete[], malloc, calloc, realloc, free

Note: this tool has moved to github, this repository is not maintained any more. See https://github.com/turdusmerula/ftrace GScopeLog is a tool for instrumenting c++ code through gcc. The main purpose is to trace entry/exit point of functions. A status file may be generated to give overview of functions calls and timing informations with minimal impact on performances.

iostat is a tool for the creation of IO statistics of precompiled binaries in Unix like systems (Linux/MacOS).
