Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "Programmers can verify their changes more quickly, identify any kind of logic mistakes in the program more quickly."
  • "InterTest is also bundled with SymDump. We see this as a bundle. They are always together for us. So InterTest is used for debugging process, walking through the code, checking data conditions and code flow. SymDump is used for the fact, after a problem occurs. SymDump catches what point in time the problem occurred, all the other connecting data, and points us to the code to indicate what caused the situation."

Room for Improvement

  • "You can have as many users as you like using it. However, sometimes they'll "step on each other" if there are two applications that are testing in one particular region, one could cause some type of a storage overlay and that will hamper another customer trying to do something in the same region."
