QA functionality in Star Transit XV Professional

Star Transit XV Professional, version 3.1 SP 21 Build 617

Supported checks. Star Transit employs the most limited number of checks without any further customisation. Available customisation is provided via fixed value lists and does not allow to add e.g. custom delimiters which in our case was necessary for Farsi .
False positives. Due to the limited number of checks supported by Star Transit it generates one of the lowest numbers of false positives.
File import. Import of TTX files is not correct enough; tags are represented in an unusual manner which hinders work with files.
Right-to-left language support. This tool proved to be surprisingly good at checking terminology in right-to-left languages. It also showed probably the best handling of right-to-left languages in general.
Reportability. The tool does not provide any reports; all errors need to be corrected “on the fly”.
Conclusion. In general, the real functionality of the tool is closest to the claimed one; however, it is too limited.
