I don't think Ada-ASSURED is aiming for the college student market. $299 is a bargain for small team development. We use use Ada-ASSURED to enforce uniform style across a small development team. It goes slightly deeper than the rule checking provided by Rational Apex and the GNAT style checking options. It also cleans up the code (ala indent or Emacs Ada-mode) rather nicely. Only negative is the amount of Scheme you must know to get Ada-ASSURED to really work wonders. It would be great if an equivalent ASIS-based product was available at the same price (Ada Analyzer is not in the same price range).
