TrustInSoft Analyzer
TrustInSoft
TrustInSoft Analyzer is a C and C++ source code analyzer powered by formal methods, mathematical & logical reasonings that allow for exhaustive analysis of source code. This analysis can be run without false positives or false negatives, so that every real bug in the code is found. Developers receive several benefits: a user-friendly graphical interface that directs developers to the root cause of bugs, and instant utility to expand the coverage of their existing tests. Unlike traditional source code analysis tools, TrustInSoft’s solution is not only the most comprehensive approach on the market but is also progressive, instantly deployable by developers, even if they lack experience with formal methods, from exhaustive analysis up to a functional proof that the software developed meets specifications. Companies who use TrustInSoft Analyzer reduce their verification costs by 4, efforts in bug detection by 40, and obtain an irrefutable proof that their software is safe and secure. -

Scout Monitoring
Scout Monitoring
Scout Monitoring is Application Performance Monitoring (APM) that finds what you can't see in charts. Scout APM is application performance monitoring that streamlines troubleshooting by helping developers find and fix performance issues before customers ever see them. With real-time alerting, a developer-centric UI, and tracing logic that ties bottlenecks directly to source code, Scout APM helps you spend less time debugging and more time building a great product. Quickly identify, prioritize, and resolve performance problems – memory bloat, N+1 queries, slow database queries, and more – with an agent that instruments the dependencies you need at a fraction of the overhead. Scout APM is built for developers, by developers, and monitors Ruby, PHP, Python, Node.js, and Elixir applications. -

Android Studio
Android Studio
Android Studio provides the fastest tools for building apps on every type of Android device. Create complex layouts with ConstraintLayout by adding constraints from each view to other views and guidelines. Then preview your layout on any screen size by selecting one of various device configurations or by simply resizing the preview window. Find opportunities to reduce your Android app size by inspecting the contents of your app APK file, even if it wasn't built with Android Studio. Inspect the manifest file, resources, and DEX files. Compare two APKs to see how your app size changed between app versions. Install and run your apps faster than with a physical device and simulate different configurations and features, including ARCore, Google's platform for building augmented reality experiences. Write better code, work faster, and be more productive with an intelligent code editor that provides code completion for Kotlin, Java, and C/C++ languages. -
