Prominare Inc. announces the second release of the Prominare Validator
programming tool. Prominare Validator provides the application developer the
means of monitoring errors as they occur within an application both on a
parameter by parameter basis and on a return basis. When an error is detected,
Prominare Validator reports the source module and line number where the
problem occurred. New features added in the second release include reduced
memory requirements, enhanced full screen support and monitoring of memory
leakage.
Prominare Validator provides support for the APIs of OS/2 2.0, OS/2 2.1, OS/2
Warp, Pen for OS/2, MMPM/2, Dive and Bidi.
Prominare Validator does not require debug code to determine precise problems
quickly, it automatically compares every parameter with its OS/2 Technical
Reference definition. When a parameter is incorrect, Prominare Validator will
return additional error information that details what is wrong. It monitors
each OS/2 API for error returns so that both expected and unexpected error
returns can be viewed.
To make it even easier to use, Prominare Validator includes a utility called
Prominare ViewPort. The validation routines will relay information to
Prominare ViewPort where the programmer can actually watch - in real time -
the validation error information. ViewPort records the parameter error, along
with the module and line number in the source code.
Prominare Validator can be used for in-house development and testing as it
allows dynamically caused error logs to be created in application beta test
sites, making it easier to see where problems may be occurring.
Specific information on which, why and where API failures occur is provided,
making distance problem solving much simpler.
Prominare Validator Release 2 is available from Prominare directly or from
Indelible Blue. It has a suggested retail price of $99 (US). Upgrades are
available from Prominare for $49 (US).
