A major update to Delphi 2007 is coming soon to an online update near you. Over 300 fixes made to Delphi as part of the Cogswell release, which includes 102 reports from Quality Central. It’s been about three months, and we made several major improvements in Vista support (the forms.pas fixes we’ve had under test [...]
In C++Builder 2007, we’re making changes which can be considered ‘breaking’ changes to certain previous projects. MSBuild has been introduced, so you may need to be careful on project imports (if you’ve manually edited your project - the importing will not be automatic in all cases), the compiler is stricter and we’re providing an updated and improved [...]
C++ Builder 2007 is coming soon, and we’ve done a few new things on the development side that help us release to market much quicker, and focus our testing efforts.

Now that we’ve announced our Q1 Delphi 2007 release, I’d like to share a story of a couple users we had come in with their real world application. A little bit of background- as we close in on a new release, we often bring in folks we call ‘Beta Bangers’. These are developers with [...]
Quality. Quality. Quality! I’d be happy to do a rant A-La-Steve Ballmer on quality, since it’s one of those difficult to prove and define - yet everyone KNOWS if a product is high quality or not. And word travels fast! The team always wants to ship a high quality product. In the past, we’ve shipped too [...]
To hijack a post from the borland.public.bdn.qualitycentral newsgroup, it’s a good idea to first introduce myself: My name is Chris Pattinson, and I’ve taken over as the Quality Assurance manager for Borland Developer Studio. I’ve been with Borland for about 6 years, from International QA engineer, to International QA Lead, to International QA Manager, to [...]
