Open Source C Software Testing Tools

DUMA (Detect Unintended Memory Access) is a multi-platform memory debugging library. It can detect memory leaks and buffer overruns (or underruns) in a malloc() / new memory buffer. DUMA is a fork of Bruce Perens' Electric Fence library. sourceforge isn't maintained for many years! suggest you want to look at https://github.com/johnsonjh/duma

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.

Serial line sniffer (slsnif). slsnif is a serial port logging utility. It listens to the specified serial port and logs all data going through this port in both directions.

You are searching _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks(), _CrtSetReportMode() and all the well known Win32 stuff? But you don't find it for your Windows CE or Windows Mobile native C or C++ development? Get tired of Memory Leaks? Handle Leaks? Trouble with Appverify (Application Verifier for WinCE)? Stop searching. Congratulations, you got it!

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 .

DragnDrop is a simple cross-platform utility to assist in debugging and monitoring drag-n-drop and clipboard interactions. It is of use to both developers and end users.

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.

The Heap Checker is a library for debugging and developing robust and efficient dynamic memory management and string manipulation in C programs.

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.

Note this project is in alpha, it works but is not pretty. This project offers a way to debug libraries loaded by third party programs. It is also great to use if trying to find a problem that occurs very infrequently or during automated testing.

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 suite of source and binary programs to test the capabilities of code analysis tools. A reference implementation of x86 binary analysis in C# is also included.

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

rngcc is "really nice GNU C compiler" it's the GUI for the standard GCC on Unix systems rngcc is fully written in c

Versaloon Platform is a next gerenation embeded developpment platform based on OOC. It implements a unique HAL layer for all target chips supported. And it will, if implemented, support more then 10 kinds of target chips, provide drivers for more than 100 pheripherial chips, provide generic software stacks(including USB, Wifi...), provide an featured FSM system(with semaphore, mutex support). Versaloon is also a USB dongle providing JTAG, SWD, SPI, IIC, GPIO, PWM, MicroWire, USART, EBI and so on.
