I just have heard about CADRE Technologie and their product Teamwork (TM).
( perhaps you've never heard about it; it belongs more to the Ada universe
  and seems to be a great Analysis/Design tool - C++ support is planned ).

Some newer parts of it were implemented using C++, which was quite successful.
Reportedly, they also tried to reimplement a large chunk of their software in
an attempt to lower maintenance cost, but eventually found out that they were
not able to test it sufficiently ( whatever this means).

So this was a failure. Unfortunately, I have no clue whatever the problem was.
Could the software not be tested due to non-existing source level debuggers or
what ?
Perhaps someone out there could give me a hint. 
I'm not just curious, but interested in real project experience with C++.

Thanks in advance

Oliver
