Lack of Progress Bar (Lopb) is an Eclipse plugin that tracks how long developers wait for background jobs to complete. By benchmarking the performance of background jobs, Lopb provides developers with metrics on how much of their day was wasted due to overhead introduced by the development tools and infrastructure that they depend on or access through their IDE.
The key to agility is being able to modify code easily and safely. The problem is that many Java applications are too brittle to extend and enhance easily. Attempts to fix or extend - no matter how carefully done - can introduce more bugs and more complexity.
With a full suite of characterization tests generated by JUnit Factory you can bring your legacy code under control. Download our free plug-in for Eclipse to get started.
