Product details
The add-on Quality Check & CtrlPPCheck by SloopTools deals with Code Quality. Overall, code quality is important to software quality. And quality influences how safe and reliable your codebase is. High quality is of critical importance to many development teams today. This is particularly important for those who develop safety-critical applications, ie SCADA or HMI.
Furthermore, the integrity of the project is checked with the following checks:
Pictures used in the project
Overloaded files from the version, for maintenance purposes
CtrlPPCheck
Static code analysis ala cppCheck for WinCC OA CTRL in the GEDI
Included are, among many others, these checks:
Undefined variables
Unused variables
unused functions
Dead code
Comparison is always true / false
Return value of a specific function is not used
e.g. return from dpExists ()
and other ...
GEDI Integration
With the SloopTools Quality Checks we want to improve the Code Quality of WinCC OA projects and offer a comprehensive service. The seamless integration into the development environment of WinCC OA (GEDI) was very important to us. The integration into the GEDI was carried out in the following places:
Drop-Down menu in the GEDI menu bar
Dock-Module for the GEDI with results
Script check via button in the script editor
Licensing
