Quality assurance of a C++ application under Unix/X11

Quality assurance and optimisation of a C++ application under Unix/X11 Window System (VADS, Very Advanced Display Software, Radar Display) (In the air traffic control simulation area at german air traffic control (DFS)).

Brief description:

• Restructuring the whole build process, adapt source code for different compilers, documentation of class hierarchy, establishing an intranet web-server with different CGI scripts for serving the documentation.
• Performance analysis of the C++ application with profiling techniques (used special OSF1 system tool atom) and optimisation of the application regarding the results of the analysis.
• different enhancements of the application functionality. (X11/Motif, GenericDisplay, special Radar-Display functions).
• Support for colleagues in topics to C/C++ and Unix.
