Pascal Analyzer is a Windows program that helps Delphi developers measure, check, and document their source code. Pascal Analyzer (or PAL for short) is a development tool that makes software projects of any size easier to understand and enables developers to produce flawless and reliable code. PAL contains numerous optimization, validation, and documentation features, which help in fine-tuning and managing the development process. In addition, it is an extremely easy tool to use.

Pascal Expert is a plugin for Embarcadero's Delphi IDE (RAD Studio). It does a static analysis of your source code, to detect possible issues and errors in your code. The results will help you better understand and produce code of higher quality, consistency, and reliability. Pascal Expert sits right in the Delphi IDE, so it lets you find problems earlier, and fix them right on the spot! Pascal Expert contains a subset of Pascal Analyzer. Warnings and hints that are most important when working with code, have been included in Pascal Expert. We have put 118 of Pascal Analyzer's most important reports into Pascal Expert.
