Visual Basic Tool Combines Testing, Error Handling, and Debugging
Aivosto's VB Watch delivers three development tools in one.
Would you like to be able to avoid runtime errors and test, debug, and profile Visual Basic code using a single tool? Aivosto's VB Watch combines Profiler, Protector, and Debugger tools in one package:
VB Watch Profiler lets you measure execution speed to determine which procedures are the slowest and which lines or loops take up most of the time. It also records your tests as you execute them, showing you which procedures and lines are still untested.
- VB Watch Protector provides error-handling capabilities to prevent mysterious error messages and crashes. You can add error handlers to your code with a few clicks, keeping your existing handlers fully enabled. Error messages can include error description, procedure name, line number, parameter and variable values, object properties, call stack, screenshot, run-time library versions, and line-by-line execution trace.
- VB Watch Debugger lets you trace compiled applications. You can use it to debug compiled code when you're creating ActiveX controls or writing code for Web browsers or Microsoft Transaction Server. You can monitor and pause your application to check its status, and set up breakpoints to your .EXE, .DLL, or .OCX to see what's happening in it. The Debugger also allows remote debugging at the client site via TCP/IP.
Using the Automate VB Watch instrumentation console, you can batch process projects with predefined settings. The console works together with Profiler, Protector, and Debugger, letting you instrument one or more projects in a batch.
VB Watch works with Visual Basic 6, and Aivosto says support for Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003 is due in 2004.
The Standard Edition costs US$299 and offers less functionality. Enterprise Edition includes all three tools and costs $990 for a five-user team, $1,790 for a 10-pack license, and $5,390 for a site license.
