ParaSoft, leading provider of software error-prevention and error-detection
tools, announced on Monday the release of CodeWizard v4.0, their automatic
coding standards enforcement tool for C/C++ developers. The new version offers
added functionality to the customizable rule creator, RuleWizard. Version
4.0 also features over 70 new built-in rules targeting embedded "C" development,
specifically geared for mobile and automotive projects, and rules pertaining
to the migration from 32-bit to 64-bit architecture.

Establishing and adhering to coding standards is often tedious and hard to
implement. CodeWizard simplifies the code review process by automatically
enforcing coding standards. CodeWizard automatically alerts developers of
over 240 coding standard violations (such as high-level design flaws) that
may hinder code readability and portability in C++ code. The RuleWizard feature
also allows developers to graphically customize their own rules to be enforced.
As Suzette LaGray, Software Consultant and CodeWizard customer, said, " .
. . [CodeWizard] is the code reviewer without the attitude; it knows all
the rules and does not waste other colleagues' time having to participate
in something they do not want to do."

CodeWizard 4.0 is available for Windows NT/2000, Linux (glibc 2.1 or higher),
Sun/Solaris (7/8), Solaris x86, HP-UX 11.x, HP11i v1.5 (IA64), Tru64 Unix
5.x, IBM (AIX 4.3.x) and SGI (Irix 6.5). Previous versions exist for Windows
95/98/ME, HP-UX 10, DEC (Alpha 4.x), and Sequent 4.x. Pricing starts at $995
(single user, machine locked) for Windows and $2495 for UNIX (with minimum
purchase requirements).
