BinResInfo

Back to Software

The first program which we consider useful both for testers and developers is a small utility BinResInfo.

It is aimed to track resources in binary files (dll, exe) of win32 applications. In the years that we have used it we saved a lot of time.

Non-English-speaking software developers' typical task is checking that all the resources in binary files of the tested distributives were in English. To check them manually, i.e. with MS Visual Studio, would take a lot of time — it's a classical routine task.

Another typical task is checking that all the version resources in the release distributives were formed properly, that is, had components description, copyrights, etc. With MS Visual Studio, if the distributive is big, this checking, again, takes a lot of time.

BinResInfo does both tasks with only one touch. As a result you have a vivid html report which you can attach to the bugs log.
