Xceed Streaming Compression Library v1.0 was extensively checked and processed with the help of Numega's BoundsChecker, TrueCoverage, TrueTime software and of course, lots of beta testing! BoundsChecker finds memory and resource leaks, checks API calls for accuracy, and finds a host of other potential problems. TrueCoverage makes sure every single line of code was tested. TrueTime allows you to find out what the bottlenecks are in your code and helps you optimize and fine tune your code for maximum speed. These products may not come cheap, but they're worth every penny.
