KDE Automated Test Report is a series of scripts that can be run against C++/QT/KDE applications to test for known problems before package release. Not only are things like memory allocation bugs found but many tests find optimization bugs through the use of less-then-idea function calls for known object types. The kind of bug testing and optimization scripts (along with uber powerful tools like KCachegrind and Kdexecutor) make for more secure, faster, more consistent, and more dependable applications. The vast majority of application “shortcomings” can be found simply by using some or all of the above listed tools.
