Pine Script vs. Python vs. Testwell CTC++ vs. test_coverage Comparison Chart

Pine Script® is TradingView’s programming language. It allows traders to create their own trading tools and run them on our servers. We designed Pine Script® as a lightweight, yet powerful, language for developing indicators and strategies that you can then backtest. Most of TradingView’s built-in indicators are written in Pine Script®, and our thriving community of Pine Script® programmers has published more than 100,000 community scripts. It’s our explicit goal to keep Pine Script® accessible and easy to understand for the broadest possible audience. Pine Script® is cloud-based and therefore different from client-side programming languages. While we likely won’t develop Pine Script® into a full-fledged language, we do constantly improve it and are always happy to consider requests for new features. Because each script uses computational resources in the cloud, we must impose limits in order to share these resources fairly among our users.

Testwell CTC++ is a powerful instrumentation-based code coverage and dynamic analysis tool for C and C++ code. With certain add-on components CTC++ can be used also on C#, Java and Objective-C code. Further, again with certain add-on components, CTC++ can be used to analyse code basically at any embedded target machines, also in very small ones (limited memory, no operating system). CTC++ provides Line Coverage, Statement Coverage, Function Coverage, Decision Coverage, Multicondition Coverage, Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC), Condition Coverage. As a dynamic analysis tool, CTC++ shows the execution counters (how many times executed) in the code, i.e. more than a plain executed/not executed information. You can also use CTC++ to measure function execution costs (normally time) and to enable function entry/exit tracing at test time. CTC++ is easy to use.
