One of the things I couldn't live without when I worked in D7 was the Sleuth QA suite from the defunct Turbo Power (Rest in Peace in the heaven of the programmers). Their Memory leaker analyzer (CodeWatch), their profiler StopWatch, their CoverageAnalyst, their Stressing Testing Framework... all were a must for any serious development. Unfortunatly, everybody knows what happened to those great tools. I use them for D7 even today but unfortunatly we are moving to 2006. With all the changes , the new memory manager, etc, those great tools are now unusable. I have been looking under every possible stone ato find some replacement tools for Sleuth but everything I find are half-baked semifunctional pieces of ...software that don't come close to Sleuth in any category. If the Delphi market so uninteresting that no other company is interested in taking the place of Turbo Power? What do you use for SERIOUS debugging?

Well, you could have a look at the testing suite from AutomatedQA (www.automatedqa.com). Their testing tool (TestComplete) and profiler (AQTime) are top notch. Then there are other products like EurekaLog (www.eurekalog.com) and madExcept (www.madshi.net) for exception trapping. Both of these products are also excellent and have loyal followings. Other powerful debugging utilities include CodeSite (www.raize.com) and SmartInspect (www.gurock.com). I would give some of these tools a look if you haven't seen them already. They are all serious applications used heavily by Delphi developers. Several, such as AutomatedQA, existed at the time of TurboPower and were direct competitors to the now-defunct SleuthQA.

What do you use for SERIOUS debugging? That's not true actually. We have been/are still trying to get the rights to get Sleuth back on the market, but it's very very difficult due to the fact that no one at Aristocrat is responsible or interested in that. Another question is if it would be feasible to pay for getting the rights.

But obviously the more time goes by the more likely users who have moved on passed D7 have found other solutions. -d Back to top Olivier Beltrami Guest Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2006 2:03 pm    Post subject: Re: Sleuth QA Quote: If the Delphi market so uninteresting that no other company is interested in taking the place of Turbo Power?
