Maximizing Your Results with SoftBench
Using the SoftBench Integrated Environment
SoftBench supports three ways to use tools:
•using SoftBench tools together on one project
•using SoftBench tools together on more than one project
•using individual SoftBench tools in a standalone mode outside of projects
Using SoftBench Tools TogetherThe recommended way to use SoftBench is as a set of tools that communicate with each other. To accomplish this, start SoftBench and launch other tools as you need them from the menus or toolbar in the main SoftBench window.
From the SoftBench window, you can perform many actions on the project data (source files, targets, and build information). Select the data on which you want to work, then choose the task you need to accomplish. Some tasks, such as building your application and checking your code for SoftBench CodeAdvisor violations, take place within the main SoftBench window. Other tasks automatically start other SoftBench tools, such as your configured SoftBench editor or SoftBench Debugger.
SoftBench's integrated environment allows you to move easily from one software development task to another. You can use the main SoftBench window to initiate tasks, and you can move from one task to another seamlessly using menu commands in other SoftBench tools.
