copied!<p>Below I list a couple of tools and larger testing applications of which I am aware. If you provide more information on your platform (OS, etc.) we can probably provide better answers.</p> <p>For part of what you require, Microsoft provides the <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457063.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Application Verifier</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Application Verifier (AppVerifier) is a runtime verification tool used in testing applications for compatibility with Microsoft Windows XP. This tool can be used to test for a wide variety of known compatibility issues while the application is running. This article details the steps for using AppVerifier as an effective addition to the application development and testing cycles.</p> </blockquote> <p>Application Verifier can be useful for testing out low memory conditions, other low resources, and other API usage.</p> <p>Another part of the puzzle, is the Microsoft Detours package, which can be used to replace API calls with your own code (useful for say, returning error codes for tests that are hard to set up).</p> <blockquote> <p>Detours is a library for instrumenting arbitrary Win32 functions on x86, x64, and IA64 machines. Detours intercepts Win32 functions by re-writing the in-memory code for target functions. The Detours package also contains utilities to attach arbitrary DLLs and data segments (called payloads) to any Win32 binary.</p> </blockquote> <p>There are other, larger (and more expensive) comprehensive packages available too. Borland makes <a href="http://www.borland.com/us/products/silk/silktest/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Silk</a>.<br> Automated Software makes <a href="http://www.automatedqa.com/products/testcomplete/index.asp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TestComplete</a>. The selection of one of these tools would be up to your needs for your applications.<br> IBM/Rational provides the <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/tester/functional/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rational Functional Tester</a>, which is available across many platforms, and feature-rich.</p>
