Microsoft will release open source tool to analyze applications
The cause behind the system or program crash is the main step to detect the problem. Micrsoft is planning to release a tool to help the application developers to monitor the cause of crashes. This tool will be open source project.
The tool name exploitable Crash Analyzer will be announce on CodePlex March 20 at the CanSecWest conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.The tool will also help to analyze the potential or strength of the cause of crash problem.
There will be a step by step guidance in running this tool from where the developrs can easily find the causes of crashes.
“As a tool, it can save developers time and effort,” said Roger Kay, president of tech industry analyst group Endpoint Technologies Associates. “A number of apparently different crashes can actually be caused by the same code. The analyzer isolates the offending block and essentially says, ‘Here, all these different crashes are actually the same failure, and it’s an important one that you ought to fix right away because it presents an open attack surface.’”

Great idea….. can anyone suggest me if a similar tool exist for mobile applications. Actually i am taking part in Nokia’s Calling All Innovators contest and I want my application to be as clean as possible.
