Java(TM) Boutique - JProbe Suite 5.0.1

JProbe Coverage

JProbe Coverage differs from the other applications in that it is not so much a real-time analysis tool, but will monitor classes to see what has/hasn't been tested and look for areas to test. This can be valuable for a Quality Assurance team setting up test cases and monitoring the testing process. JProbe will save the coverage data, which you also merge with coverage data from different test runs. This coverage data can be output as XML, PDF, HTML, plain text or in comma-delimited format. And like the other applications, JProbe Coverage performs surprisingly well.

JProbe Coverage displays granular testing information.

Conclusion

All of the tools within the JProbe suite are surprisingly simple. They do what they say without any extraneous functionality. Additionally, this version of JProbe performs surprisingly well, all of the applications were able to run on my minimally-equipped laptop in real-time without lagging or otherwise overworking my CPU/memory. For anyone who isn't currently using performance monitoring software, I would recommend starting and JProbe is a good place to start. Anyone who currently is using performance monitoring software other than JProbe should at least give JProbe a test run. All in all, JProbe does it's job well, and this should make your life, and your customers' experiences all the better.
